About the Item
This yellow and dark blue/green work of art was created on a sheet of black plexiglass. The surface you see is created by rabbeting ( woodworking term) a single continuous groove in the surface. Paint is sprayed on the surface and then sanded away, leaving behind color in the groove. A final red iridescent layer is added to the entire painting.
I was on an early morning flight when I imagined this piece. Looking out I noticed how the tops of clouds were ablaze with the occurring sunrise. Looking down I saw the land was still in darkness and it occurred to me, clouds are the first to witness a sunrise. The thought stuck with me and I made this piece.

- Intertwined. Abstract, Modern, Contemporary, Plaster, wall SculptureBy Cari CohenLocated in Miami, USIntertwined . Sculpture made by plaster and painted with acrylic and spray paint. 20H x 40W x 13D About the process: From a mesh I begin to create the forms of the sculpture, without previous ideas, I let myself be carried away by the curves and counter curves that are generated. Once this process is finished, there are many layers of material to give body and strengthen the work. Then comes the polishing and finally the painting. It takes me a long process to finish the sculpture. My work combines aspects of architecture, the urban environment, bright graffiti colors, and a duality of structure with chaos. Curves, illusory perspectives, geometry, and urban symbols are among some of the tools I use in making my work. Innovation with materials is a key component as I have used plaster...Category
