About the Item
Artist Comments
"This painting is about taking the bait and getting lost in a "box" of perceptions - a kind of falling down the rabbit hole of thinking," says Gwen. Part of an ongoing series of paintings abstractly defining the complexity and deeply layered nature of thought and memory.
About the Artist
A fascination with the division of space drives the work of Gwen Gunter. When approaching a new work, she uses both her intuition and a specific spatial vision. After creating a compositional sketch, she adds color and texture. Then she simply lets the painting guide her. Though she doesn't consider herself a huge science buff, she enjoys listening to physicists talk about quantum mechanics and string theory while she works.

As your thoughts progress in a relaxed quietness, colors emerge, dots of energy and creativity like flowers in a field. Edges are painted a light warm gray.

"Acrobats and circus performers have always fascinated me with their lively gestures and colorful outfits," says artist Patrick O'Boyle. With an exciting application of bright and cheery colors, Patrick envokes the showmanship and energy of a live juggling act.
About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.
