"Like Abstract Altars"

"The highlights of the Ocean Park series are large canvases (7 to 8 ½ feet tall) of abstract painting, most of them geometric and architectural in construction and appearance. While deceptively simple upon first glance or in reproduction, these works feature layers of paint over paint, signs of adding and subtracting, and traces of what the artist was previously working on emerging through newer layers."
