Portrait of the artist
Purvis Young

I use paint, ink, pastel and other media to make personal renderings of emotional material. This is a distinctly human endeavor. For me, painting synthesizes elements of space, color, and form. The objects I strive to create are meant to convey visceral images of intangible aspects of thoughts and feelings.
I view expression in terms of relationships between spiritual consciousness and earthly imagery. My intent is to express certain qualities, which are difficult to convey in terms of projecting feeling and memory onto a surface. I believe in a process where viewer and artist struggle through multiple perceptions of reality. This perception has elements that are conceptual (art as idea), literal (art as symbol), and figurative (art as object). Making art is a dialog where each art product is an invitation to  interpretations of reality. And yet, the object remains as an independent substance in and of itself.
