ArkTyp Diptych 5: You’ve memorized how to cry but your rules for time conceal her with a darker liquid. Painting

Two individual paintings, done close together, presented as a diptych. These two pieces, like siblings, work beautifully together, contrasting and counterbalancing one another. They can be framed and hung as one piece, or framed separately and hung one above the other... or side by side. The really cool thing about these works is that, depending on your mood, you can choose to show them in any one of numerous positions. Rotate the paintings, switch sides... each view that you create can have its own presence... its own dynamic... its own meaning, all a reflection of who you are! Experiment... You are the creator! (see the work's details for examples of alternative positions) ALSO: If you purchase the diptych you are acquiring two paintings, each at a discount compared to buying the paintings individually. ArkTyp: Imagine you could journey into another person’s mind and live there for just a little while. What would you see? Not a world made up of defined lines and static forms, but instead, a fluid landscape, multiple shades of myriad emotions... those strange corners of the human psyche, her symbols and archetypes, her oceans of the familiar become unfamiliar, like dreams, their bands of figures and faces, as waves colliding, intertwining in that ocean of the other self. I’m obsessed with the element of water; and acrylic paint being a water medium lends itself perfectly to my philosophy of painting. Add this miraculous substance of paint with the water and together we have the alchemy of a science that defines the unconscious. Waterpaint is a living, breathing medium. I move it across the surface of my paper, touch and caress it... I can almost taste it... feeling it closely as if in foreplay, this process of spontaneity and improvisation to provoke, inspire, create... merges into an organics that spews images. But I need to concede first, pay homage to the water’s current... find myself in the struggle between too much control and the freedom to allow the liquid to move of her own accord. There lies the mystery of mark making, the secret of the water’s paint when I surrender to her flow, where in so doing she reveals the terrain of my own subconscious. This is my own personal language of abstraction. A language that captures those places for which there are no words... those growing things, pockets of energy imploding as sensual forms... and those flowing pools, like substance become living organs... the guts of our own psyches. Frame these gems in white or neutral colors and under glass (or without glass) and they will glow for you. My recommendation is to have the works framed in such a way as to allow yourself at any time the freedom to move the paintings in relation to one another creating new views. Painted with the finest mediums on beautiful, archival Arches paper, made in France (paper weight-140 lbs. and 100% cotton... will last forever!) with deckle edges. Beautiful stuff! When you frame these works they need space to breath, therefore I show thickness at .5 inch, at least, to allow room for thicker paint areas and for the wave of the paper. The artwork should not touch the glass, thus make sure there's a little air space in there for the art to live well. BUT THESE WORKS CAN ALSO BE SHOWN WITHOUT GLASS! It is perfectly fine. Will sign on front and/or back for you upon purchase. Certificate of authenticity included.
