In Keeping Time, Deni Lantz presents non-objective works reflecting his sensory experience of New York, processed through rhythmic mark-making and a subdued palette. Influenced by jazz and samba, Lantz views painting as a visual score, where repetition and gesture capture temporal presence. His methodical brushwork, enhanced by beeswax’s tactile surface, creates subtle contrasts and points of tension, inviting viewers to perceive shifts in tone and texture, mirroring how environments shape perception and memory.
