Decker’s abstract optical, mixed media pieces explore
the effects of dimensional expansion on the
canvas’ surfaces using acrylic paint in predominantly
vibrant and contrasting hues, layered compositions
and textures. The process involves optic
and kinetic qualities to augment, enhance and
displace color, texture and light in the works. The
pieces then radiate, glow and move with the viewer.
The process starts with freedom of expression and
movement, flourishing imagination without restrictions
and calculations. A place of contemplation
and inspiration is established. Layers of paint and
textures are overlapped generating dimensions,
compared by the artist to his experiences, and the
final coatings of pigment, glazes or metallic finishes
are carefully applied utilizing fine decision making
and technical skills, developed in the past 25 years,
taking the paintings to a completion. This process
can take many days, weeks, months or years. Lastly,
a glass lens that ends the process and enhances,
illuminates and bends form while concealing
experiences and protecting the painting.
