Seductive Mind

Artwork Tags:

My work is imbued with the beauty I find in urban landscapes. I am attracted to the images and textures that have occurred over time on buildings and objects, through the effects of human and nature. I create my work through the manipulation of collage, as well as oil and acrylic paints, and drawing pencils. Seductive Mind shows a rather dramatic shift in my colour palette; primarily the hot pink, but overall the colours are more bold and vibrant. This is the first of my works to have figures as the dominant subject matter. I choose not to depict faces is in any of paintings, as I do not want the viewer to get caught up in identifying a specific person, but rather to be able to draw on a broader narrative. In this work specifically, the figures evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue where the viewer is seduced by intellect and wit rather than physical traits.

The painting is to be hung on a 10 lb. picture hanger, using the hanging wire that is between two 3/4" hardwood slats on the the back of the painting. The slats of wood allow the painting to "float" off the wall beautifully, in a very distinct style that enhances the appearance of the work. Keep out of direct sunlight and humid conditions.

STATEMENT

My work is imbued with the beauty I find in urban landscapes. I am attracted to the images and textures that have occurred over time on buildings and objects, through the effects of humans and nature. I create my work through the manipulation of collages, as well as oil and acrylic paints, and drawing pencils. No certain sense of what will come next, images manifest yet remain undetermined. The meaning in my work is irreducible to a single thought or idea. It is as abstract as it is significant.
