Basil's Folly Nº 8 Painting

Basil's Folly No.8 is part of the Basil's Folly series. No. 8 introduces touches of bright saturated color and more expressive, gestural paint handling. When I originally started the series I was thinking about how children like to pretend and imagine wonderful things when they play – anything and everything is possible! I began thinking about a child’s game that included an invisible folly. By folly, I mean the architectural definition: whimsical or extravagant structure built to serve as a conversation piece, lend interest to a view etc. found especially in England in the 18th century. Where would your imaginary game exist? Initially I 'placed' the unseen folly in abstracted landscape settings but now, the environment has shifted to include bright playful colors and almost confetti like brushwork. Basil's Folly No.8 : {+} Is created with acrylic paint and gel medium on archival 100% cotton Rives BFK paper {+} Will be carefully packaged including a pH neutral barrier to protect the surface {+} Signed and dated on the back, small signature on the front {+} Fine layer of matte archival varnish applied to front of artwork to protect and inhibit UV damage {+} The full paper size is 22w x 30h (76.2 x 55.88cm) however I am suggesting a 2-4" crop / mat allowance for the framer. This means the actual painting size inside a mat window would be approx. 20w x 28h / 18w x 26h. The interior design image above helps show how the painting could look framed.
