“I wanted to paint on the wall, but I didn’t have any commissions, so I compensated with the modular work. In ’67 I began using a right angle form almost exclusively. It was for me very expressive.”
1975
David Novros's watercolor on paper captures his deeply personal relationship with architectural space and geometric form, reflecting his mid-career shift toward the right angle as a primary expressive tool. The work embodies his desire to merge painting with the physical environment, compensating for the absence of wall commissions through modular compositions that echo the structural logic of built space. Fluid washes of color interact with precise angular forms, balancing the organic nature of watercolor with the disciplined geometry that defined his practice from 1967 onward.
