Standing Wave Painting

This painting was inspired by a feeling of harmony and direct connection with the natural world. It depicts the essence of a figure as a crucifix-like form in balance on the crest of a wave in the midst of the relentless flux of a turbulent ocean and sky. This is an acrylic painting on top of an inkjet print on multiple smaller squares of paper attached to a gessoed and cradled birch panel. It has the look and feel of an oil painting with a glossy sheen, and has been varnished with a removable archival varnish. The painted surface has physical brushstroke and painting knife texture throughout, and the edges of the square pieces of inkjet paper show through in certain areas. The edges of the panel are painted to look like an aged bronze patina. This painting will arrive in a flat shipping box ready to hang, and includes an appropriate picture hanger and a detailed Certificate of Authenticity.
