A Toast Painting

“A Toast” is an abstract urban cityscape painting. It’s text, which is book ended by ornamental street light designs, is the dedication written for Harry Carr’s Los Angeles: City of Dreams. It reads: To those who lived in the little old sun drenched adobe pueblo. To those whose vision and energy made it a great metropolis and to those who will live in the magic city to come: Salud y pesetas y tiempo para gustarlas. (To health, wealth and the time to enjoy them.) Teale chose the subject of lamp posts as way to share a sense of optimistic interconnectedness with the world around her through the expression of beauty, history and public spaces. This pop-art styled artwork is composed entirely of fragmented, visual elements of assorted city street lights utilizing hand cut stencils made from drawings, aerosol paint and metal leaf on translucent acrylic sheet. The mixed media painting can be displayed individually or in clusters and can be mounted against a wall, hung away from a wall, suspended from a ceiling.
