About the Item

A deep black color field that seems to absorb light floats on a field of purple, red, and maroon. My Fermata-series paintings are quiet sanctuaries for personal reflection. Painting is my antidote to troubling times, my way of contemplating the nuanced gray areas neglected by our increasingly polarized society. I create fields of light and darkness by staining raw canvas with layer upon layer of diluted acrylic pigments that soak into the fabric. These subtle layers of pigment reveal themselves gradually after several minutes of viewing, bringing the dimension of time to the two-dimensional surface. I also blur the distinction between object and ground to create an ambiguity of space. My intent is to create simple but elusive paintings that beckon a hectic world to slow down, pause, and reflect. DETAILS *Acrylic stain on raw canvas built up in many thin layers. The stain technique soaks into the canvas, creating a naturally velvety matte surface with neither the glare of glossy paint nor the deadening of matte paint. *There is no need to frame this painting since the 1.5 inch edges are the same background/border color with process artifacts of the underlying colors used to stain the canvas. *To save several hundred dollars in crating and shipping, the canvas will be removed from stretchers and shipped rolled. Contact for a crating and shipping quote if you prefer ready to hang. :: Painting :: Abstract :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: rear canvas margin :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No
