| Media & Method:
Base: signmaker's plywood skimmed with joint compound (drywall plaster). Surface: compound is carved, brushed, stamped and sanded for texture. Underpainting: white gesso in places for a resist effect on fava, squash and leaf. Pigment: Thin washes of oil paint. Hanging: paintings are VERY heavy and backed with durable hanging apparatus on the back, setting the painting out 1/2 inch from wall. Impact: Overall effect is a textured fresco look, slightly watercolorish and airy -- and quite unlike any other paintings I've seen before. Highly original technique and truly seminal works for the artist. Blood Orange has a more "touchable" quality due to high relief and thicker paint application. |
