French’s
work is marked by a juxtaposition of realism and expression-based abstraction.
The more detailed, realistic forms depict what we know. Overlays of energetic,
abstract brushstrokes signify the things we don’t fully understand; nevertheless, these unknown aspects can exert tremendous influence. The allusions and
juxtapositions in “Transcend” function as snapshots of the psyche, exposing multiple
levels of the mind and its hidden dynamics.
