About the Item
Smack-Dab (In The Middle) starts my return to hard edged, geometric and minimalist iconography. The title refers to a song by the same name released in 1979 by Janice McClain. It is a Rhythm and Blues, Disco, and early House music classic, in other words an unforgettable dance tune. I spent many a night dancing to this song at the infamous after hours club, The Paradise Garage, where DJ Larry Levan reigned. On a more serious note, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines smack-dab as exactly, directly, squarely ,first used in 1892. When I finished this painting the titled came to me instantly. The central part of the painting says it all. This work was less intuitive than usual and approached in a more precise manner, starting from the center dimensions of the canvas and making decisions outward. I limited myself to red, black and white because I wanted to explore a graphic outcome. Also thinking of signs and flags. This painting brings to mind Barnett Newman's "zip" paintings and Gene Davis's and Bridget Riley's op art stripe paintings. This painting can be displayed horizontally or vertically. Titled, signed and dated on the back. The photo has a slight distortion of the stripes, but the stripes are very hard edged and precisely spaced and straight. The paint wraps around the edges of the painting so it is ready to hang as is. Perhaps it could also be framed in a black simple frame with more depth. :: Painting :: Abstract :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Titled Dated Signed on the back :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: Yes :: Framed size 19.5"h x 25.5"w x 1.3"d
