Works on Paper: T.L. Lange

According to Lange, he started his work with "concrete visions", and actually began several paintings at one time. He tried to allow some form of synchronicity to determine his next decision. As the artist said, he "makes marks for the sake of themselves. I create error that I find attractive in all of our everyday lives. However, I leave it hanging three marks shy of discernment. What I mean by that is that I choose that it not be understood or to be scrutinized by its detail or its adherence to reality -- only to be seen for its sense and its nostalgic response without my personal sentiment."

It is important for the viewer to find out the story TL Lange has identified. He wants them to take the images he has given and create their own narrative. It is his feeling that we all see what we want to see based upon our experience.
