The result, form and color blending in amorphous shapes, some geometrical, some imaginative, some semi-recognizeable. All of the art works shown are monoprints using Akua printing inks. The collages have been enhanced with other media.
The artist is concerned about drawing the viewer into the painting and so creating a dialogue, either visual, intellectual and/ or emotional. Kaufman concludes that his experience in front of the canvas is vital to him and intriguing to the viewer.
