Paradox2, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

2021

About the Item

Continuing the series of paintings with a metal military helmet, in this case an American WW2 one. I wanted to portray older people in something only worn in earnest by younger people, there lies the paradox. I have long been interested in the industrial design mantra of ‘Form follows Function, ably represented by military helmet design. So many national variants but all with the same purpose, to protect young men and women in war. A Rowney Cryla acrylic base coat of burnt orange over the gesso manufacturers finish. Opaque pigments are used to lay down some areas, also acting as undercoating for some subject matter. Subsequent layers of acrylic paint have been applied laced with Liquidex airbrush medium and deionised water as a wash layer. This thin multiple layering of pigment allows for a degree of luminosity, avoiding the usual flat acrylic finish. Painted on Superior rolled canvas board. Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting but has a unifying effect. :: Painting :: Modern :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: left lower corner :: Canvas :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No

    Located in Fort Lee, NJ
    The hero at this painting is a human. His eyes are a lenses that artist using. At all time they are together, a man and a woman. Duality of differences, two views, different accents, but in one wholeness. Fomin is a fairy-tale artist, a romance teller, who is choosing never ending life stories for a viewer. He is telling these stories with realistic language of the artist, citing the language of Bruegel sentimental sincerity of Chagall, but also a precise coloristic scheme, that was a signature of French Art in the second half of XX century. The fantastic World of the artist is perfectly detailed that makes it truthful. This artistic language principle defined the style of the artist long before he entered the Art World market.
