Donald’s current series of artwork consists of paintings, drawings, collages, and prints that reflect his interest in both representation and abstraction.

Representation refers the viewer to some idea that exists outside of, and beyond the picture frame. Abstraction, while concerned with formal art concepts, is also a means of expressing the intangible and spiritual.

Donald’s artwork often employs art historical references, realism juxtaposed against geometric and flat compositional elements derived from digital sources, contrasts between opacity and transparency, and explorations of gesture versus rigidity, as analogies for cognitive dissonance.

His art attempts to make visible the process of reception of information, internal interpretation, and artistic creation; —of revelation, interpretation, and translation — through comparing and contrasting representational and abstract art approaches.
