Claude Lawrence infuses elements of jazz music into his monumental abstract paintings. Like a jazz musician who follows and creates new chord progressions, Lawrence paints compositions that rhythmically operate “as a fusion of improvisational matter governed by memory.” With energetic, graffiti-like scrawls and gestural, fluid brushstrokes in bold colors, his works avoid allusive imagery and are in the service of significant social change.
