STUDIO

A key technique in Souter's work is layering colors, creating a surface that denies uniform flatness. He reacts to the fluidity and immediacy of paint, balancing control and relinquishing it to explore resulting tension. Non-conventional and found objects are used to create texture and patterns, eschewing traditional painter's tools. Through a process of felt experience and intuition, his non-objective works take on a life and history of their own.
