Artist Biography

Creative Concept:

What started as Pincus’ curiosity in pottery and vessel has extended to include painting and sculpture, and his present works are evidence of that evolution. He believes that color interaction can elicit new ways of seeing. So he has dedicated the last seven years to this study. Frequently, He elects to stage conflict by introducing an assertive color field to an equally emphatic form. This friction augments and enriches perceptions of space.
