"Striking" Natures Balance - Geometric Surrealist Landscape in Acrylic on Canvas

2003

About the Item

"Striking" Geometric Surrealist Landscape in Acrylic on Canvas Bright and lively surrealist landscape by Randy Dunham (American, b. 1961). A sphere of water takes center stage in this composition, struck by a ray of light that transforms into a lightning bolt. The sphere reflects a stark landscape consisting of mountains reflected in a body of still water. The same landscape is visible surrounding the sphere at the horizon. Various other geometric shapes surround the sphere, tearing through the sky and casting shadows across the water. Signed and dated "Randy Dunham © Aug 03" in the lower right corner. Titled, signed, and dated "Striking Randy Dunham © 2003" on verso. No frame, but a deep 1.5" stretcher which is painted white on the edges to be hung unframed if desired. Canvas size: 36"H x 48"W x 1.5"Deep Randy Dunham (American, b. 1961) was born in Troy New York and grew up in Gansevoort, New York. Dunham has been deaf since birth and attended the New York State School for the Deaf where he developed his artistic skills. In 1979, Dunham attended NTID at the Rochester Institute of Technology, studying applied art and medical lab technology. After running a picture framing business for several years, Dunham began to paint seriously in the mid-1990s, beginning the transition towards becoming a full-time artist in 2000. Drawing from the work of surrealist artists like Salvador Dali, Dunham’s art focuses on themes of reflection, refraction, and transparency, bringing inanimate objects to life in a surrealist fashion. He sees his work as a mix of science and art, creating a world where time is eternal and space is infinite. PERSPECTIVE: Randy Dunham’s art is a form of focus employing REFLECTION, REFRACTION, and TRANSPARENCY, which transform randomly selected inanimate and industrial shape into a spectacle of wonder and vision. These transformed objects come to life through the mastery of created illusions of transparency and levitation. A dazzling array of color shifts and vibrant accents are incorporated on the surface of these dreamlike art forms. The laws of nature seem reversed, yet are portrayed stunningly in a realistic style that takes the viewer beyond the limits of reality, into vast new dimensions of the fantastically impossible. A new life for the beholder is born via his inspirational message – from a world where time is eternal and space is infinite- leaving a pleasing on the soul, the artist’s true mark.
