Bill Weiss is a mature dedicated painter who invokes the memory of many abstract expressionist artists, and for good reason, he is one and has lived so for last 35 plus years of his career. In his studio, Bill minimizes his palette to the essential colors needed to convey meaning and not crowd the viewer with interference from seeing his work. Looking at his painting installation 46, 45, and 44 (top left, A) you're reminded of Piet Mondrian's color theory, "blue recedes, yellow emanates, and red floats," while their untitled numbered nature brings back the scientific analytic reflection Bill inspires into his craft. A reflection of his education and process.

Our world is a maze, a place built upon a labyrinth of hallways, interlocking doors and gates, accessed by random keys and strains of information brought together to reveal an new nature. A hidden nature of simple color, explosive but constantly regressing only to grow in new directions at anytime. A world always with us but only seen after a calming of the mind, a look through a keyhole or microscope into a vastness carefully rendered and recreated in this artists hand.
