About the Artist
abelard does not spend all its time writing about communication logic and related educational subjects: abelard is also a hard-edge modern artist. Here are some of abelard's hundred-plus paintings. The rest will appear as we take the photographs.
Here is an interview with abelard by art journalist Kathleen Hardman, explaining the artistic philosophy behind abelard's distinctive style. For technical information about abelard's paintings and how to care for them, see this page. Exhibitions
abelard's paintings are exhibited in the following rooms:
- Dordogne - Landscape watercolour paintings of the Dordogne. By Xavier.
- Tangrams - Paintings based on Chinese tangram puzzles, abelard's own super-tangram and the colour wheel. By abelard.
- The -Ink Series - Ink series of colour studies. The -ink series studies colours like pink which are produced by mixing a colour (for pink, the colour is red) with white. Each painting looks at colours in a particular sector of the colour wheel. By abelard.
- Reinhardt Series - Unsurprisingly, the square is a format that many modern artists have explored and tried to master - for instance Reinhardt, Stella, Anuszkiewcz, Albers. Why should I not add my efforts and commentary? I am particularly impressed with the wide range of expression available in such an apparently simple and basic foundation.
The Reinhardt series uses a three-by-three grid within a three-by-three grid, similarly to Ad Reinhardt who creates grid paintings of various shades of black.
- Improving the Masters - Works derived from and influenced by various famous artists and paintings - abelard tidies up and improves the masters!
- People - Paintings that contain people. By abelard.
- Shear series - Based on the shearing of rock faces, I use the shear series to explore shifts in colour and line on either side of the fault-line.
- Float Series - In this series, by careful choice of colours, I make shapes float away from the surface of the two-dimensional painting.
By abelard.
- Eye series - A simple shape used as the foundation to explore colour combinations, their contrasts and harmonies.
- Trees - In a series based loosely around trees, abelard sees the colours, shapes and patterns of the organic beings called trees.
