About Purple Still Life 1

Four circles form pyramid at the foot of a light blush ground in this contemplative painting by David Cantine. The areas between the shapes in this minimalist still life acrylic on plexiglass are filled with cream and plum. Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. His paintings may take up to two years to complete.

Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. Cantine may be referred to as a post-minimalist, a term coined by Robert Pincus-Witten in 1971 to describe work with a minimalist tendency but that uses modest materials and aims towards a pure formalist aesthetic.
