Tremor Map 02

Description

Tremor Map 02 by Bruce Granquist. Unique Abstract Artwork.

This unique collection shows how Parkinson’s Disease has affected his painting style in surprising and intriguing ways.

“This image shows how much control I was able to maintain over this painting style. Certainly, the lines are not as steady, but I was to see how expressive they are.”

The tremors in my right hand are not just haphazard shaking, they are more like oscillations that have a definite pattern and rhythm.
~ Bruce Granquist

These oscillations are seen clearly within the calligraphic lines of this piece, cross-crossing the forms, and suggesting radial marks. This piece looks like it has been drawn over with a pencil to create the illusion of a 3-dimensional form. But this illusion is a by-product of the process of the piece.

“I realized that the calligraphic lines such as these could only be done by a person with PD.”
