'Buried Treasure' ID# 2317 Painting

The long, narrow painting format has interested me for some time. First of all, they are quite versatile and can fit in awkward spaces. I enjoy creating them to be installed either horizontally or vertically, whichever suits the space. The wide ratio also presents a creative challenge, which I love. This painting combines collage of my own hand-painted papers, acrylic paint, graphite and oil pastel. * This painting is created with countless layers of acrylic paint, and mixed media. * The textured surface is rich with underlying colors that make you want to touch, which is ok * Professional grade acrylics and archival mixed media on 3 joined art panels. * The finished piece is professionally float-framed in black wood and ready to hang. * Varnished with professional U/V coating to protect the surface. Part of the 'Exploring Space' series ARTIST STATEMENT. Original Paintings Series My usual preference is to approach my work from an organic viewpoint. However, I do enjoy using an underlying grid as a compositional framework on occasion. It was exciting to experiment with this series and see what would emerge. To create visual complexity, I used multiple layers of collage and paint that are added and subtracted over time. The resulting surface is like looking for buried treasure. They are an organic excavation of the process.
