Momentum - Contemporary Paintings by Michael Azgour

Momentum (2013)

Influenced by photography and the numerous ways images enter our personal space, my work examines how we see the world through the multifarious facets of reality and virtual reality. I use simple geometric patterns together with expressive applications of paint to represent the distortion of digital photography and the lack of clarity our memories provide. By pairing a variety of images together in seemingly incongruous ways and abstracting form in favor of ambiguity, my work attempts to challenge the viewer to create their own narrative.
