Paul Gruhler is a dedicated Geometric Abstractionist. Over 60 years, Gruhler produced an impressive series of paintings, drawings and paper collage demonstrating the hard edged, calculated, flat geometry of this style. Because Gruhler doesn’t work with variations on a theme, but creates each piece individually, the process itself is a dynamic conversation with the materials: working within the self-imposed framework of color and line is integral in his artistic drive to make order and harmony of all that is inchoate. He paints that visual sensation, a feeling or idea, divorced from literal representation.

“I hope my works induce a meditative sensibility for those who encounter them—a state of reflectiveness.” Paul Gruhler
