VERT DE GRIS - Oil on Canvas Painting of Striped Flower in Muted Colors

2021

About the Item

VERT DE GRIS is an oil on canvas painting by Jered Sprecher and a piece in his series of works depicting grayscale flowers. The initial impulse behind the piece came from the idea of draining the color from a bright flower. VERT DE GRIS presents a discolored flower in shades of white and gray. Though at first the painting appears to be monochrome, a closer look reveals vertical stripes of color running down its surface. The striped pattern was created by taping off sections of the canvas, painting one version of the image, then peeling off and reapplying alternating strips before painting again. The result resembles a digital screen warp or print machine register notes, a theme common in Sprecher’s artworks. Small specks of light and color are coming through the striped pattern, adding a three-dimensional flickering effect.
