For more than three decades, Stephen Bram has devel­oped a body of work explor­ing the rela­tion­ship between abstract paint­ing and the rep­re­sen­ta­tion of archi­tec­tur­al space; Per­spec­tive Paint­ings 1987 — 2023 com­pris­es works select­ed from this par­tic­u­lar 35-year project.

Geo­met­ric, abstract, and not overt­ly engaged with style, Bram’s Per­spec­tive Paint­ings pose van­ish­ing points to reflect the envi­ron­ment they inhab­it. Each piece is deter­mined accord­ing to spe­cif­ic rules includ­ing the des­ig­na­tion of two, some­times three, per­spec­ti­val points.

Per­spec­tive Paint­ings 1987 — 2023 is accom­pa­nied with an essay by Doug Hall.
