Peter Buchman Untitled No. 3, Plaster Series on Wood with Frame, 2016

Contemporary artist Peter Buchman's "Untitled No. 3, Plaster Series" is made of joint compound, plaster, paint on wood and a white edge/gold leaf frame. This piece is an attempt at controlling the uncontrollable. Or is the artist being somewhat autobiographical? How does a painter control his paint? The mystery is in the making or sometimes in the drying. But always in the beauty of the finished exploration of the art by the artist. The mixed textures seem so perfect and yet totally by accident. Making it a moment that is truly 'Art' worthy. Signed, titled and dated on verso.
