    "I start at the top and work down," explains Stanley Whitney. "That gets into call-and-response. One color calls forth another. Color dictates the structure, not the other way round." Whitney first developed his signature motif of an architectural approach in response to ancient roman structures and frescos. His combinatory improvisation, has its musical counterpart in jazz, an abiding influence for Whitney that allows for a rhythmic and lyrical space to be created. Deriving inspiration from sources as diverse as Piet Mondrian, Giorgio Morandi, and American quilt-making.
