"In my work I try to develop a pliable, flexible line capable of interaction with various other lines to form more intricate images. The complexity of the line transforms and reverses positive and negative aspects of the space. One sees images in which the boundaries exceed the spatial planes that contain them. Abstract balancing of forms in different spatial planes, coupled with vibrant color, augments the compositional structure of the artwork. The background is also essential to the total feeling of the work, as it becomes either a means to complete the image or a way to disperse and merge the forms.
Also, in my works, I shift pictorial planes and intermingle the far with the near. The depicted figures and objects appear to start at the foreground of painting, move into the background, but at some point in the middle they return to the foreground producing an effect of curving space, similar to a giant wave that moves to close in on itself. Such organization of space, where one part interlocks with another and is integrated into a whole is necessary for the construction of internal order in the composition."
Alexander Chubar, December 1999
