Arc of the Divers Painting

This painting depicts a trio of symbolic figures encased in egg-like shapes and expressed in a stylized, graphical fashion within an isolated ocean setting. The ocean, sky, and clouds are rendered in a realistic manner with three-dimensional depth and colors typical of an ocean at twilight. This image is intended to suggest the idea of the persistence of relationships among individuals through the ages, transcending the boundaries of time and space, and birth and death. This is an acrylic painting on a gessoed and cradled birch panel. It has the look and feel of an oil painting with a glossy sheen, and has been varnished with a removable archival varnish. The painted surface has some areas of moderate physical texture but is generally smooth. The two inch thick edges are painted to give the appearance of an aged bronze patina. This painting will arrive in a flat shipping crate ready to hang, and includes an appropriate picture hanger and a detailed Certificate of Authenticity.
