Derek Overfield
Two dueling jays and a man, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

2019

About the Item

Title:"Two dueling jays and a man" Artist: Derek Overfield An energetic large figure painting with fighting blue jays. A dynamic original piece. Above is a semi-abstract figurative work done from life. The work is completed using a subtractive/additive method utilizing latex paint. The piece is sold unstretched. It can be restretched either inexpensively at a frame shop or DIY and presented in a gallery wrap style. It ships in a sturdy tube, rolled. Statement "..and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire... there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad My work is influenced by the classical and the romantic, the archaic and the modern - and strives for the monumental, divine and quietly brutal. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma. Like a purging fire, I hope to burn away the ornament, the unnecessary, in order to expose the purity beneath. :: Painting :: Contemporary :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Back lower right :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No

  • On Earth, Painting, Acrylic on Paper
    By Suz Shippey Borski
    Located in Yardley, PA
    “On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous”, a beautiful book by Ocean Vuoung - this painting represents my vision of this book title. The color green relates to earth, balance and harmony. From a color psychology perspective, it is the great balancer of the heart and the emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and the heart. From a color perspective, green is also the color of growth, the color of spring, of renewal and rebirth. It renews and restores depleted energy. It is the sanctuary away from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well being. Making art out of emptiness - what emerges is a gift. Artistry is a dynamic flow that opens the world to oneness - we are all connected. This fresh artwork is influenced by Asian Brush painting...
