City of Angels Painting

This piece sought a perfect marriage between the tactile qualities of the materials coupled with the subject matter and imagery. I bought a pre-cut piece of plywood from Home Depot and applied a few coats of clear gesso, sanding between layers. Then I painted loosely with spray paint and markers and then completed the details in Acrylic paint. There are also at least two layers of a transparent brown oxide glaze with a lot of gloss medium. I kept tweaking the light of the picture until I arrived at that murky, industrial brown. The painting is somewhat existential, I think of Albert Camus's "The Stranger" or the artwork of Edvard Munch. I see it as a dark picture but with hints of a spiritual redemption. I think the composition is also reminiscent of a lot of Renaissance paintings.
