The abstract paintings of Ethan Vallarino explore the inner complexities of color, depth, balance and gestural expression. In many ways, he treats the canvas as a means of expression and purity, a therapy where emotions are recorded with color, layering and exactness. Although these paintings concentrate on the effects and functions of color, dimensional contrasts and emotional expression, they are rhythmically mathematical in terms of their fluidity and geometric balance. Each drip is relative to its counterparts.
