Abstract Scene VIII Painting

The work is slightly bent which makes it difficult to hang it completely flat on the wall. It has been hung with the aid of wires and hooks before, making it stand out from the wall slightly. 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. This piece has been exhibited in independent small-scale art shows. Hanging hardware can be included: Wire or strips. Artwork is currently located in New York, NY.
