Corey Mason’s paintings are decidedly elemental, harkening back to ancient cave paintings of Lascaux and Chauvet, with references to Mesoamerican indigenous art and Modernism that further eludes the specificity of time. Mason, who studied landscape architecture and agricultural development, developed his own ways in seeing form, shape, colour and texture, especially in relation to nature. Emphasizing flatness and simplicity in representation, Mason creates figures that freely float in a primordial haze outside of space and time.
