poster for Costain "Recent Paintings"

This event has ended.

With a keen interest in the human figure, Costain's work is able to combine the tradition of the figurative with the energy of abstraction.

His work appears to be in a constant state of flux. From close approach, his figures seem to be a blend of colors and chaotic lines. As the viewer steps back from the work, the figurative elements become apparent, creating a harmonious balance between the human forms represented and the energy infused all around his canvases.

Costain's works have also a psychological interest. This constant flux in the representation of the human form, makes the viewer reflect about the permanency of the self and the place of the individual among the chaos of a world beyond our control.
