Abstract
The artist’s methodical brushstrokes suggest that, like Cezanne, he seeks to construct, rather than simply paint, the tree. The work is primarily an exploration of color, spatial planes, and geometry. Yet, it also provides insight into Driskell as an artist comfortable with utilizing abstraction to get to the spiritual essence of things
