Artist Statement:

Produced during a self-imposed exile from his lauded representational work, Kingswood departed from literal references in search for something intangible over an eight year period of unlearning conventions. Merging visceral and abstract sensibilities, the paintings in this series seek to illuminate the mysteries of our environment. Throughout his forty year career, Kingswood has devoted his practice to investigating our interconnectedness to the external world, reawakening the allegorical potential of nature; linking the flux of its phenomena to the spiritual realm.
