Preliminary stage - the drawing under the painting. Moving the chair legs around to get placement right.
To obtain saturated color, the artist alternates layers of watercolor and colored pencils. She works on the painting right side up long enough to get the composition in place and then works on it upside down. She finds it easier to see what needs to be adjusted by looking at the painting from different perspectives.
The painting is unframed. This frame is a digital representation to show the work's scale in a room.

About The Artwork

The first painting of the Ascension Series. The series is characterized by compositional elements—mostly rendered in grisaille—that float on backgrounds of saturated solid color. As usual in the artist's work, the furniture components represent people. The ribbon was inspired by the medieval speech bubbles in the form of streamers in gothic art. The work was inspired by the challenge of discerning the true meaning underneath spoken communication. On the ribbon are the words, “of course, bien sûr, I promise, nope no, don’t let the—get you down,” and some gibberish thrown in for good measure. Both the reliability of words and gravity is suspended. The falcon overhead, more prominent in the beginning stages of the work, has been overpainted. The thick handmade paper from India allows for numerous heavy layers of pigment that result in intense color. The midnight blue antique silk velvet, applied to most of the letters, swallows light in a manner not possible with pigments and provides a vacuum like visual void. The center of the book matched E is cut out and backed with iridescent apricot colored silk.

Terrell Lozada (b. 1962) is an American painter and sculptor living in Paris. She uses imagery and language to create works that explore the metaphysics of gender and power in contemporary society. Her work represents an internal, emotional world through objects subjected to unreliable or suspended gravity. Her aesthetic fulcrum is the late 18th century, particularly as it relates to French architecture. She works in a wide variety of media including watercolor, oil on panel, cast bronze, etchings and carved wood. She is currently exploring tin-glazed terracotta (faïence stannifère) to combine color and form.
