Historically, my paintings have been abstractions inspired by the landscape. The multi-planed layers of color, distance and dimension have been a mainstay in my work and continue even as the paintings evolve toward more three dimensionality. The painterly illusions now incorporate photographs, sketches, copper foil, gold leaf, wooden skewers, stitching and the like, transforming the canvas into a low relief object formed by personal metaphors and inferences. Compositionally, the works are more iconographic and ceremonial constructs, with allusions to a personal language of thoughts and recollections.

As I reflect on parts of my personal history - living as a child in Japan and Europe, being raised in a strict Catholic home, my rite of passage as a Marine in Vietnam - all the pieces are emerging in my consciousness and creative life. I find the iconic, frontal, ceremonial constructs and metaphors are speaking to me in a less illusionistic tongue and in a more concrete language. - Cicero Greathouse
