About the Item
The Cave Wall - Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Canvas
Vibrant and colorful composition by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). Layers of paint are built up and scratched away, creating a variety of textures and color variations, reminiscent of carving into a rock wall. The primary pints of interest are white and yellow shapes dancing across the center of the composition, but the swirling colors surrounding the white shapes are full of variety and visual interest, keeping the viewer's eye moving across the composition.
Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size: 18"H x 24"W
Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution."
