William J Ramsay - Abstract Fine Artist
About Me.
My focus and interests lie within the modernist aesthetic of hard-edged painting, geometric abstraction and the minimalist movement. My creative intention is to develop the basic concepts of visual aesthetics: line, colour, form, scale and perspective to explore, interpret and communicate the architectural spaces and cityscapes I experience.
​
This mindset and creative focus have previously resulted in both minimal and complex outcomes that have included drawings, acrylic paintings, wooden sculptures, site-specific installations and paintings made with vinyl tape. By exploring different mediums and working with a range of approaches to making, it has allowed me to produce work that has occupied both two and three-dimensional space in a coherent abstract language.
​
Updated 2020: At this point in my studio practice, I have limited my focus upon the process of geometric drawings and hard-edge painting, with the intention of creating two-dimensional abstract outcomes that reflect the visual qualities and depth found in three-dimensional spaces whilst also keeping the compositions open to interpretation by viewers based on their own individual perspective and understanding.
