Abstract Scene V Painting

This piece is part of a collection that I have created while spending my summer 2016 in New York. During that time I exclusively painted on reclaimed wood that I had collected off the streets, cleaned and prepped to use as a canvas. My intention was to have the freedom and opportunity to paint as big as possible without being constrained by having to purchase or build canvases myself. This also gave me the wonderful opportunity to work with the structure the wood naturally creates, enhancing the effects of the abstract expressionist style of the paintings that are part of this collection. During the process of creating Abstract Scene V I was greatly inspired by the contrast of Central Park and the city at night. Hanging hardware can be included: Wire or strips. Artwork is currently located in New York, NY.
