The SILENCE / WHITE SERIES paintings suggest a reality of transcending portraiture and opaque anecdotes in a near white-out brilliant existence where subject and form disintegrate in a visual grandeur. Lederle directs his choice of subject matter towards an ethereal depiction of anthropomorphic items. The tangle and blur created by the multi layered application of oil paint compounded with coldwax medium over a gold leaf grid, baits the viewer into an emotionally charged process of discovery.
