Bill Weiss is a mature dedicated painter who invokes the memory of many
abstract expressionist artists, and for good reason, he is one and has
lived so for last 35 plus years of his career. In his studio, Bill minimizes
his palette to the essential colors needed to convey meaning and not crowd
the viewer with interference from seeing his work. Looking at his painting
installation 46, 45, and 44 (top left, A) you're reminded of Piet Mondrian's
color theory, "blue recedes, yellow emanates, and red floats,"
while their untitled numbered nature brings back the scientific analytic
reflection Bill inspires into his craft. A reflection of his education
and process.
Our world is a maze, a place built upon a labyrinth of hallways, interlocking
doors and gates, accessed by random keys and strains of information brought
together to reveal an new nature. A hidden nature of simple color, explosive
but constantly regressing only to grow in new directions at anytime. A
world always with us but only seen after a calming of the mind, a look
through a keyhole or microscope into a vastness carefully rendered and
recreated in this artists hand.
