Lawrence Robert Armstrong

My work, both in art and architecture, is an ongoing exploration of the concept of layers. I have always been aware of and fascinated by layers in the natural and built environment. Layers in space and time. Layers in intellect, in emotion. Synthesis and interpenetration of form, of solid and void, of chaos and order, of simplicity and complexity. My art is unique in its expression and interpretation of layers. Intellectually, I hope to communicate the sometimes congruous, sometimes opposing forces in the world. Sophisticated and complex, the oeuvre of my work induces the viewer into existential and reflective states; simultaneously penetrating the human psyche, as well as captivating the eye. Elevating the importance of line and accentuating volume and mass, I veer from static forms and compositions and instead embrace the vigor of present reality.
