Marilyn Ashbrook

	Barbados Porches, 1996, Acrylic on canvas, diptych, 28"x60"

Dissonance in music excites me. To create it in a painting, my raw material has been the geometry of urban structure, fragmented. With separate, but juxtaposed, canvases and shifting perspectives, I have sought to choreograph a dynamic visual rythm, with our darting eyes setting the painting into motion.
