Heart Painting

"Heart" - Light washes over crimson tones turning pink against a blinding white background. Undulating forms caught in an airy blur, obscuring something deeper. Varnished and ready to hang. JENEM Series Collection Statement- From the debut collection "No Longer Part of the Landscape". No Longer Part of the Landscape - A collection of experimental paintings. Exploring the metamorphosis of Light and Dark, and the flowing, shifting, and drifting states of existence. This work is a culmination of thoughts and escapist world-building, which I hope you'll immerse yourself in awhile. The entire work has been made with attention to quality and longevity. First, the wooden panel is sanded, sealed, and primed. The work is thoroughly inspected along the way for imperfections. The front, back, and sides are all made white. Then begins with a process of adding and subtracting multiple layers of paint to achieve ghostlike transparencies. Once the final painting is finished, front and sides and signature are protected by 2-3 layers of Isolation Coat. This ensures the painting is protected from varnish removal. At the end, 2-3 coats of UV Resistant Varnish is applied to cover the entire work. The varnish should last 10 years approximately, and the owner may have the original varnish removed and applied new again without damage to the painting underneath.
