Gibbous Syntax No.1 Painting

This mixed media painting can be displayed alone or part of a diptych. Gibbous syntax expresses a way in which the observable illuminated semicircles of the moon, when put together, form the waning start of a celestial song. Painterly layers and hand-marbled paper is presented in a muted monochromatic palette of grays, lavender, ivory white, and a hint of coral pink. Abstracted semi-circle forms are repeated on the horizontal axis. The marbled textures are evocative of the patterns found in microbiological and astral phenomena and float on the textured and dense and drippy background. The deep edge gallery wrap canvas is ready to hang as it is with exposed edges that reveal the process of drips and layers or can be framed by the collector.
