Carlos Luna
Waiting

2014

About the Item

A mixed media painting on wood, Waiting depicts an abstracted woman in a white blouse and flowing black skirt against a deep red filigreed background, the word WAITING below her outstretched hand. Carlos Luna approaches his paintings from the point of view of the conservator, almost as if restoring the discarded billboard or poster from a bygone era. Akin to a resurrection, Luna’s meticulous method involves building up layers of paint only to scrape them away, leaving them in an abraded state, then building up again in fresh layers that take on a much more refined and highly polished surface of painstaking detail, subtle modeling of form and brilliant colors. Waiting is signed lower right, "C. Luna" and verso, "Waiting, Mixta, 2014, Miami Fl, C. Luna".
