From social media, quotation in bracketed bold and italics:
[ “Redeemer” features iridescent bronze, alla prima copper, silver, sap green, mars black and burnt umber applied intuitively in precise motions on a wet, lightly pigmented ground.
The Redeemer element you can see is chance palette application. However, it’s clear to me my subconscious picked out imagery I had seen a day prior.]
Delicate applications of wet copper with heavier palette motions of bronze compliment the canvas. I filled the upper-central space in sap green, definitely in thought of Central Park, New York. To be honest, this delighted.
To canvas-frame the piece I partially added mars black as a surround. Very much a 1950’s art style.
Once again it’s possible climate change is the external narrative here. A sense of saving humanity from industrial pollution in whatever form.
Corruption of duty against the Earth.
On the paper this artwork reveals a gentle, considerate balance. I hope you can see this work one day, physically before your eyes.
As always lighting a work like this is finite, sensitive to its full potential.
