Windy Days, Original Contemporary Surrealist Painting

2023

About the Item

Windy Days 31.5 x 39.5 x 0.75, 5.0 lbs Acrylic on canvas Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "The whimsical painting allows one to daydream. One views the colours and images floating in the sky being pushed by the strong wind. The surreal approach of trees blown in space while not being anchored supported by colourful planks." About the Artist: I was born in Norway and at an early age, our family emigrated to Canada. My life has seen me both living in Norway and finally on the West Coast of Canada. After decades of high-pressure careers, it was time to return to what I wanted to live for. That was painting, sketching and photography. I am mostly self-taught and have been producing art in one way or another for as long as I can remember. My interest in painting has taken me on a journey over the years depicting injustice against humanity, the surreal and now more abstract concepts. I plan to keep painting and creating for as long as possible. Painting stops time and lets me wonder into concepts and ideas with enthusiasm.

Skull, Original Signed Contemporary Black and Green Acrylic Painting on Canvas
Located in Boston, MA
Skull, Original Signed Contemporary Black and Green Painting 18" x 18" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas Hand-signed by the artist. Finished with a gloss varnish. A black background allows the subject matter of this acrylic painting by artist Lindsay Hall, a human skull, to both pop forward and recede into the background. There is an amount of chiaroscuro happening on the left side of the skull, keeping it in shadow, falling into the depths. An item in a cabinet of curiosities, this memento mori work serves as a pausing point to sit and reflect on one's own mortality. The green tones to the white of the skull give this work an interesting dimensionality to it, almost imbuing it with life, ironically. The black background is reminiscent of artists like Caravaggio and the subject matter is highly reminiscent of Van Gogh's Skull of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette. Artist Commentary: I painted this when I lived in Richmond, VA above an oddities shop. Being in such close proximity to various curiosities like taxidermied animals, preserved animal organs, coffins, and the like definitely kept my mind in the spooky mood all year round. The building itself was black and had a giant grim reaper...
