Fuse Box City Painting

Futuristic and fantasy architecture has always fascinated me. Architecture school opened my mind to great artists such as Piranesi, and visionary architects such as Ledoux. The promise of creating my own imaginary spaces became the right vehicle to express my passion for architecture. This painting was actually inspired by a few things. I recently did some work in my electrical fuse box, and noticed how beautiful all the switches were in a line. It was a lovely architectural rhythm and pattern to use in my painting. The artist Ugo Riva in Italy inspired this architecture series. The industrial architectural rustic feel to his sculptures inspired me to change my usual architectural landscapes, to creating a vision of 3 dimensional objects like his scuptures. Similarly to the artist, I worked with natural earth tones in this series to develop a sense of these objects aging over time, and coming from the earth. I decided to use thick cold pressed water color paper, as it is a fantastic surface to absorb many mediums in different intensities. For example, I can experience the lightness of water color alongside the heaviness of acrylic paint and textured medium. This creates a lovely variation of texture and tone. The acrylic textured mediums allow a raised rough texture to rise from the paper, really adding a sculptural quality to this series.
