About the Item

Like Swimming In A Quarry - 120 feet and dark in the middle. One of Wadsworth's celebrated & innovative Black Cloth series. His sitters pose with a large black cloth & talk about what they're feeling during the experience. Wadsworth then paints the sitter in their chosen "guise", sometimes also recording their voices. The sitter then passes the black cloth to another person and the cycle continues. Ink, watercolour, white oil bar and graphite. Framed 34" x 46" Sheet Size 27" x 39"

Drawings from Mt Gretna, III
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland.
