He enjoys the possibilities opened up by an almost endless expressive recombination of artistic styles and statements. His paintings are a satisfying mix of knowing, disciplined gestural abstraction and a riot of referential ambiguities.<\/p>\n<p>Cumberland creates large-scale paintings that are at once monumental and casual, inspired primarily by post-war American and German painting. For COMMA, Cumberland created a series of six new ambitiously large oil paintings. Each consists of three distinct layers -Benday dots in cyan, magenta and yellow, a layer of recurring motifs comprising squiggles, circles and triangles and finally large expansive rectangles of white applied with a roller. Cumberland has used this vocabulary of shapes for a number of years. They began as body parts and have evolved into a series of unconscious gestures painted with brush, spatula and edge of a window cleaning tool.<\/p>\n<p>Cumberland paints in series with the intent to humorously communicate specific themes, for the most part relating to Sigmund Freud\u2019s idea of \u2018sublimation\u2019 \u2013 the channelling of \u2018lower\u2019 sexual urges into \u2018higher\u2019 aims such as art or science.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Cumberland (b.
