About his art in his own words...
1981-1983 - "During this period I developed self-taught proficiency in the techniques of
"trompe-l'oeil" and "faux" finishes. I studied Southwestern American Indian painting and motifs, as well as work from primitive cultures. A new series of paintings developed using these images and symbols, using these techniques, and further developing earlier concepts based on scene design and painting".
About Kip's Art by an unknown author..
"Kip's work continues to advance his ideas of man's past Art and Culture along with his sense of man's present-day relationship to his history, environment, and space travel. Painting within the concept of when man's Art and Culture were one. The ritual, the symbols, Art as an everyday part of life on earth".
"Working with color in the Alber's style* which suits his technique and graphic sense. He is painting and learning in all the mediums available, always incorporating these into his continuing body of work concerning man existentially living in and destroying his environment.
An observer of the world, more adept at painting whet he feels than writing about it, Kip keeps painting into the future.
*Albers chose a single, repeated geometric shape, which he insisted was devoid of symbolism, to systematically experiment with the "relativity" of color, how it changes through juxtaposition, placement, and interaction with other colors, generating the illusion of attraction, resistance, weight, and movement.
