Meditation in Red and Gold Painting

This piece is both a meditation in color and a response to its scale and materials. The red is the color focus of the space, and allows the gold to point out brights and darks in different areas of value. The gold itself becomes a compositional highlighter, reacting with the light shining on and through the plexiglass. All of this allows for a deeper experience of looking and feeling, by way of the color relationships and where/how they have been applied throughout the space.
