Shrine, Limited Edition 1/10 Artwork

Abstract digital painting, contemporary, expressionistic. The work presents the grown-over entrance to a shrine through which a rough outline of a god or goddess is seen. Ominous shapes on the lower right and middle prepare for entry into the sanctum. The left gate post coincides with a mighty tree, -- or is it the menacing power speaking out from the top at the upper left? In contrast to the shrine’s environment, the shrine’s inner is soothing, as if to convey encouragement not to be delayed in one’s worship by ominous occurrences and creatures pervading day-to-day life. The question of who is the power the shrines serves is left open. The complexity of the image technically derives from merging spontaneous movements of a dynamically changing brush with intuitively controlled algorithmic processes that determine the character of individual strokes and their color and direction. The work is printed on Hot Press Fine Art Smooth Bright White paper (an acid free, 100% cotton rag media with a bright textured finish, yielding an extremely high color gamut and black density). It is signed and numbered by the artist, accompanied by a CoA, and shipped without hanging hardware, in a very sturdy tube protected against folding and puncture.
