Channa Horwitz Contemporary Fine Art

		For more than 40 years, Channa Horwitz has developed and employs a systematic approach and process to her work. Born and educated in Los Angeles, Channa has exhibited her paintings and drawings around the world. Her work has also been orchestrated as performance art composing the incremental steps into their own unique note pattern and tempo. The ideas that continue to instill the passion behind her work are drawn from order. There is an underlying structure and process that forms the basis for her work. One that is simple, yet results in a vast array of complex patterns and brilliant colors. The discerning patterns and structures result from linear progression in search for truth. The process begins with curiosity and the answers reveal themselves in time... "I had knowledge of classical visual compositions and could compose two-dimensional objects as in painting and drawing. I could compose three-dimensional objects as in sculpture, but I had no ability to conceive in the fourth dimension - time. I could not see how a choreographer or musical composer could compose time. Because of this lack of knowledge, I devised a system that would allow me to visually see time. I felt I could use a graph as a basis for the visual description of time in what I call "Sonakinatography: Sound and Motion Notations".
