When Winston Branch goes into the studio, he's looking for the poetry in his paint.
"It's about process, handling the paint and surface," the St. Lucia, West Indies-born artist says. "I believe in the sensuality and morphosis of paint."
Branch, whose abstract paintings have been exhibited throughout the world, was in Lawrence recently to meet artist Roger Shimomura, a visit arranged by Lawrence artist Henri Doner-Hedrick.
Hedrick is a graduate student in art at Kansas State University, where Branch has accepted a one-year appointment to teach painting. Prior to coming to Manhattan, he taught for one and a half years at the University of California-Berkeley.
