O. Devan
'Melting Sun' by O. Devan - Large Cloudscape - Photography and Acrylic on Canvas

2024

About the Item

"Melting Sun" by O. Devan is a striking 40" x 50" canvas that artfully bridges the realms of photography and hand-painted artistry. Beginning with a photograph capturing the serene majesty of clouds at sunset, Devan masterfully applies hand-painted acrylic embellishments, giving rise to a breathtaking skyscape. The radiant oranges and tranquil blues of the sunset are intensified by vibrant, hand-painted strokes that depict the sun in a state of fiery dissolution. This piece encapsulates the fleeting, yet intense, emotions evoked by the day’s end. It's a tactile celebration of nature's splendor, offering a dynamic and textured interpretation that captures the viewer’s imagination. Devan's "Melting Sun" is not just a visual spectacle but a hand-crafted tribute to the profound drama that unfolds in the sky at dusk. About the Artist: O. Devan paints that which he doesn't see. His camera captures a second in time as if he stops in his tracks and takes a step back to embrace that particular second in time and space. Devan's works are eternal; he does not pretend to reinvent the wheel in his paintings but to redefine it. The skies, the ocean, clouds, and cityscapes are for anyone to recreate, but capturing these layers that surround the image is where O. Devan's genius lies. Layers of paint on photography, all on large canvases create a haunting work of art that is captivating and hypnotic. The mood is ethereal and subdued. Our soul is drawn to the work in an inexplicable nostalgic yearning. Proudly shown at The American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA. Keywords: O.
