New Work: Nocturne

Detail of Nocturne, Artist: Andrew Binder, 2024

Nocturne was started almost a year ago, with a different  concept and a completely different color palette. It was abandoned for awhile as my attention was diverted to other pieces and ideas. When I returned to it, I immediately started changing it to fit my current mood and direction;  building upon the foundation of what was done previously.  I began to change the palette to reflect a much darker, cooler feeling. I began to paint it differently as well in a manner that I am beginning to think of as my “New Expressive Style”. The end result, is an amalgam of the past and present, of older and newer developing techniques. A transitional work, that has one foot in what was, and the other in what is to come.
