Oil on canvas from 2007, 40" x 40" by Colorado artist Haze Diedrich

Haze Diedrich bio/ artistic statement:

Haze Diedrich is an abstract painter of memories that touch on the mechanical, biological and the poetic nature of life. He works in a fashion that requires constant analysis of the visual impact of color. He achieves his goals by reworking the layers and by scraping, sanding and scratching the top layer to reveal a past layer, like an onion unfolded and recombined. Large compositions are built out of smaller, non-repeating organic shapes.

Diedrich says, "The patchwork technique of building up layers of color comes from many influences. I live in Colorado where the color of sky and land seem to absorb every bit of the sun's light. I am constantly looking at the relationship of the cool colors of the mountains and the dry colors of the prairies. I like how the colors of the variety of trees play with the ever-changing colors of the sky."

This piece was donated from Newmont Mining Company's corporate collection, facilitated by Noyes Art Design.
