Pelagic Gesture

Paul Verdell’s Pelagic Gesture presents his latest body of work which he began during his time at the Black Rock Senegal residency and has continued since his return to his home-base Michigan. A series that he describes as embodiments of the self, the presented works demonstrate the persistent imagery of his window view of the sea from his Senegal-based studio. These works are not so much representational of the sea as they are the divulgation of how this -scape he had access to through his studio window has been internalized, processed, and interpreted by his succumbing to the physical self and his pure joy of color.
