Dover Abrams floats between the world of unstoppable self-expression, immeasurable energy, innocent frustration, biting irony and an intuitive comprehension of human relationships and emotions. The former graffiti artist exchanged spray can for artist's brush at the influence of partner Jill Peterson, and in doing so discovered the most creative phase yet in his artistic evolution. Where plastic nozzles once spewed visual statements on concrete and stucco, now tubes of oil paint are blended in bold, sweeping lines on canvas and plywood, applied in a rhythm that finds its pace between the passion of youth and the measured understanding of creative maturity.
