ARTIST STATEMENT
Since the mid 1990s, Albert John Belmont's art has focused on the deconstruction of subjects to critical elements – line and color – to communicate form and emotion. Today, he continues to advance this approach — discovering the minimal and essential information in subjects, focusing on color decisions and which lines are necessary to portray the way he experiences a moment, topic, or subject. Since 2020, his drawings and oil paintings have delved into autobiographical explorations of spaces, sleep, quiet experiences, and key memories.
