About the Item
Abstract geometric and graphic work from Cantine's famous abstracted still life of apples series. Framed dimensions for this painting are 27 x 27 inches.
David Cantine studied at the University of Iowa and later became a professor in the Art & Design department at the University of Alberta. His work has been exhibited in major galleries and is in many private and public collections. It was also featured in Roald Nygaard's recent book, Abstract Painting in Canada. When exhibited next to another in the series, the subtle color shifts become more striking.
"For the past 36 years I have painted essentially the same still-life, which began as a pair of apples and its shadow and evolved, under pressure of color, into the present imagery. The pressure comes from the sense that color itself is the issue here. For example, apples will remain “apples” and only incidentally “red” unless re-drawn for the sake of the color. Thus the present imagery represents a kind of deconstruction of normal drawing. This is done by the strict use of symmetry, solid/unbroken color, non-overlapping shapes, and a single viewpoint perspective within a square format. All of these features (and others) have proven necessary in helping colors to achieve a clear position and dimension within the picture, a still-life of colorful space." David Cantine

- CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms FallingBy Heather HartmanLocated in Signal Mountain, TNCHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...Category
