I see Vances work in relationship to mine by the similar forms, the use of layering, compostition - how lines and shapes dont want to connect, but are made to.
there are a lot of things going on in the paintings of Vance's and the artists hand is present as the brush strokes and outlines of forms emphasized and not hiding any secrets of the process. I think this is a useful to think about in my own studio practice "truth to materials" through texture and roughness of the brush strokes.
"There is a great focus on aspects of moment and light in there works. In some, luster seeps through hairline cracks; others seem to channel the source of their illumination from a hidden presence.

I think the use of colour channel a direct light source this may be illuminated through a natural source emphasing its layers or the light is illuminated within the figure field, forming depth and space. I am working with a similar sort of idea recently - illuminating the forms within the mat colour field, I realised that brighter, more translucent colour display volume and depth within the painting, the bright greens and oranges recede into the background adding some vibrancy to the work and catching the eye of the viewer
