About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Mandy Main is passionate about mid-century modern homes - in fact, she lives in one. "I created a contrast between the iconic geometric shapes of the architecture with the organic forms of the surrounding vegetation," says Mandy. "The facade of this house is mostly glass and the focus here is on the hard-edged windows filled with reflections of flowing palm trees." Brilliant sunlight sparkles on the intricate geometric garden wall and desert plants, lighting up the palette of subdued warm colors.
About the Artist
Mandy Main is an art historian and landscape painter based in the Southern California desert. She has long been passionate about 19th Century American landscape paintings, which has been influential in her artistic practice. Mandy works in series, generally three paintings at a time. Her process begins with a vision of a place she has been, but she takes creative liberties with the aesthetic details. The artist is captivated by light and shadow, and strives to instill her work with moody drama through the representation of these elements. Using layers of paint and glazes, Mandy achieves mesmerizing atmospheric depth, encouraging the viewer to gaze and be still.
