Neal Palmer establishes pattern by using repetition, scale exaggeration, the tension of intersecting angles, the sliding geometry of arcs and the power of line. His blend of naturalism and elements of photo-realism traverses the tradition of botanical painting with demonstrably brilliant technique. He also evidences an unusual and quite remarkable ability to deliver compelling, complete works of vastly different dimension and shape.
His palette is constrained but deeply expressive. His core subject for this exhibition is flax and his goal is as much to celebrate it as to make us look anew at what we could so easily take for granted. His works are front loaded and use linear rhythms to carry the viewer’s eye in and about the composition. Important also is Palmer’s fascination with sculptural form which is revealed in each painting in many ways including the placement of flowers and seed pods in variable space.
