Edition:
Original 1/1
Style:
Moonlight Stretch is organized around a saturated cobalt field that reads as night sky, cut by a pale moon and a dark, branching structure that drives the eye upward and outward. Bates builds the surface with layered paint, stitched-looking patterning, and rough-edged passages that create a tactile, mixed-media skin rather than a flat image. The striped, woven form arcing across the composition brings together figure, serpent, and textile logic, placing the work in conversation with contemporary symbolic abstraction and Native storytelling traditions. Its dark ground, bright lunar note, and calligraphic branches produce a compact, dreamlike theater of myth and metamorphosis.

Key Facts

  • Location: New Palestine, IN

For a decade, I have devoted my life to nurturing young minds as a scoutmaster, and this enriching experience often finds its way into my art. My educational background is grounded in fine arts, with an Associate and Bachelor's degree in the field. I am an abstract impressionist painter who delights in using vibrant colors, varied textures, and layered patterns. My mixed media artworks are not merely visual experiences; they are narrative threads spun from my encounters with the natural world. In my formative years, I had the privilege of working with a renowned sculptor based in Memphis during my college days. His blueprints were my canvas, and metals of all kinds my paint. I honed my skills in welding and finishing pieces, but it was the art of patinas that truly captivated me, thanks to my background in painting.

Artist Statement

In my artistic journey, my overarching vision is to create an immersive experience for viewers, inviting them to delve deeply into the vibrant colors and evocative images I curate. My creative process begins with the collection of mental images, often derived from personal experiences. These images, initially anchored in reality, gradually morph and metamorphose, taking on a more abstract form - a testament to the transformative power of artistic interpretation.
