Lot Essay

“The process of painting for me often results in minimizing the color palette as I work, until often many details merge or become a bit less certain. This is also how the paintings tend to have areas that glow. Usually the entire painting was once that saturated and slowly it becomes something a bit more dense with scattered areas of phosphorescence. I need a certain feeling of openness that's hard to pin point. I think a lot about stopping. It's a balancing act, but sometimes one unneeded mark can destroy the painting.” (A. Cudahy, quoted in an interview with Rafael Soldi, “Q&A: Anthony Cudahy,” from Strange Fire, 2018.)
