Abstract expressionist painter Caio Fonseca employs a reductive process to arrive at his finished works, painting in partial layers that continually accrue, overlapping previous forms, sometimes abrading the surface and, ultimately, achieving new abstractions. The curvilinear geometry of his forms has often been compared to piano lids, quarter notes and the bodies of cellos or violins, perhaps related to his skill as a classical pianist. He brought his artistic vision and piano skills to Paulson Fontaine Press (formerly Paulson Bott Press) in 2005.
