I came very close to sanding this painting back to the gesso ground but forced myself to keep working on it, a few color adjustments and it came together. There is a little gem of a painting at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, a portrait by Dutch Renaissance painter, Corneille de Lyon, that served as the basis for the color in this work. I had to make some modifications as I wasn’t interested in painting skin tones but I like the fact that using that painting as inspiration caused me to use colors I would never have used otherwise. In the the nearly white part of the composition, there is something really interesting happening that I cannot explain. I used yellow ochre, burnt umber and diarylide yellow for the underpainting–all warm colors–and used a warm yellowish-white for the overpainting. In the thicker, more opaque parts, the warm tint is apparent, yet in the more translucent parts, the white has become an almost lilac color. The work was executed using Golden acrylics and pigment dispersions from Guerra paint. The substrate is portrait grade linen, stretched over a wooden panel, primed with multiple layers of gesso, and then sanded smooth to remove any trace of the cloth weave.

Bio: Rochester, NY based artist Daniel DeLuna has exhibited his painting, drawing and digital work internationally. Starting as a painter, his work has been greatly extended and influenced by his engagement with digital media at the same time retaining the connection to the initial practice in those traditional mediums. Working with an abstract visual language, he creates richly evocative work influenced by art history, music, and design. He holds an MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. and is currently Associate Professor in the School of Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Statement My work consisting of paintings, drawings, digital video and stills, engages with the language of abstraction. Superimposed intervals of horizontal or vertical lines generate a rhythmic structure with accents and beats that become the field for the foreground elements that often hold, or become surrogates for, figural associations. The work takes a nod at the history of traditional abstraction as filtered through and informed by the pervasive influence of technology on contemporary culture. Digital tools are used extensively in the creation of the work as I employ both common software as well as highly specialized high-end 3d animation applications. The gestural impulses, including erasures, as contrasted against the geometric, reflect my deeply ambivalent relationship with technology. I am searching for how to create meaningful aesthetic experiences in a culture where the visual is increasing debased by the image glut caused by our interaction with the digital realm. Themes from art history that frequently organize style and approach in into broad categories defined by binary oppositions, such as the romantic versus the classical, are important, as I attempt to synthesize these seemingly contradictory ideas. I want the works to be emotionally resonant, they do not make up a singular emotional statement but instead have a connection to the flows, forces, textures, rhythms and complex relationships we experience in everyday life.
