Gregory Kitterle
Arch and Pole - Square Figurative Painting with Earth Colors

2012

About the Item

Gregory Kitterle's Arch and Pole is a 11.8 x 12-inch ink, oil, and pencil painting on board. It oscillates between figuration and abstraction, in a tridimensional space alternating between darkness and light, like a path into the woods. This small work, titled Arch and Pole, has the feeling of an ancient fresco where the imagery has been slowly fading out. The drawn elements emerge as the viewer carefully observes the surface. The overall terra-cotta color is lit up by the green and white floating pole that gives to the scene a surreal feeling. The artist writes: "Irregularities of my painting surfaces, stains, blotches and scratches, created while working become specters that rise to tell their tale; each as individual as the eyes that behold them. My conversing with these specters of the various materials is like wandering in a labyrinth. Some are clear, offering easy images to share. Others sunken only whispering their possibilities. With its depth sometimes as thin as a sheet of paper, yet one can wander in it for miles and many hours. The images in my work are from tales told to me during my spectral wanderings in this labyrinth of surface."

    By Gian Berto Vanni
