Chris Segedy

My work is inspired by industrial urban landscapes. The paintings are based on memories of such places from my youth in Akron Ohio, as well as from the New York landscape of today. While this initial inspiration continues to drive the work, I strive to allow the paintings to inhabit two dimensional space in their own way. As I work, I am engaged in an internal dialogue, debating the respective merits of non-objective forms and abstractions that simulate tangible objects. The finished pieces serve as a record of this dialogue.
