BIOGRAPHY
Dornberg was born in Los Angeles in 1940. He and his twin brother,
Ken, had painted with
their
dad
since an early age. Dornberg was inspired by Rempel in high
school to explore juxtaposition, and by Elgart and Amato at UCLA to
paint anything and to do it a lot. Over the last 12 years he has
produced over 950 oil paintings. Images of his work appear on
websites of poetry, in printed publications and on book
covers. His granddaughter, Paige,
also paints. STATEMENT It is essential to study the elements that make a painting great. These include: relationships of objects, shapes, lines, spaces and colors; their juxtaposition toward the surface and boundaries; their rhythm and balance. Study of these elements takes place whenever a painting is reviewed. It is essential to learn from review and to progress, while remaining free to explore and change. Subjects are chosen from slices of life. While focusing on the elements above, subjects must remain subservient to the elements.
