About the Item
At the center of this large-scale black and white charcoal and pastel painting, a diver launches himself from untold heights, frozen at the peak of action against an ecstatic plume of clouds. Zalopany excels at painting with light, often abstracting areas of a composition with explosions of brush strokes and impossibly smooth blending. The cloud mass at the center of Diver is at once a liquid pool and O’Keefe’s Jimson Weed, shapeshifting in the way that clouds move and change shape. Characteristically, Zalopany defines other forms with a soft photorealism: the diver’s back, highlighted in white, almost prompts the viewer to squint their eyes against the summer sun.
