About the Item
"Foundation" - Abstract Expressionist Assemblage in Acrylic on Canvas
Bold sculptural composition by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). This piece is textured and sculptural, built up with layers of paint, cloth, and other objects. This piece has Francis' signature freestyle composition, with a circle in the upper right corner. Layers of paint are built up to create depth and visual interest.
Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size: 20"H x 16"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."
