Great work - could you something about how it was done perhaps?
This is a combination of 2 pieces that started with overall alizarin crimson on 1 & dark blue on the 2nd, painted on student grade rice paper then allowed to dry. Hansa yellow opaque applied over both & cut through the wet paint with a colour shaper. After they were both dry I cut each one up & reassembled them, but only used 2 pieces of the yellow over blue. The final piece is 9x12".
This is WOW for several reasons, the texture being one. I like the way it is broken up and different patterns on each section.
ps. Are you in DVAC? If so, are you going to put anything for the upcoming member show?
Thank you, & yes, I'm a member & right now I think I will put something in but I'm not sure which one (this piece has already been exhibited in the Lost in Translation show). Are you a member? I'd love to see your work in person.
Where did you go to school. Your skills are well defined.
I attended the Dayton Art Institute during their final years right before they ceased to be an accredited college & closed those doors for good. I'm a huge Christopher Wool fan, by the way, his gestural work in particular.
I will be going to the reception friday night, and my "dead space" graffiti panel will be there. Cool, I will look out for your work :)
I'll be going too so I hope to see you there!
Marty, DVAC was PACKED! My daughter and I could hardly move it was so crowded. What a great exhibit with some really nice quality work. WE went early and left by 7:30pm, but I think even if you were there I wouldn't have been able to meet you (not unless we both wore giant red hats or something lol).
I went early too & thought I had a glimpse of you but then didn't see you again - if it even was you. There was some good work there, and I really liked the effects you were getting on your graffiti panel - did you reverse paint on plexiglass & then mount it to a wood panel?
oh, you saw my panel :), no that is resin. I actually painted onto mdf board, with some collage also. Then I poured resin over it and sprinkled in a little glitter. I like that you thought it reverse painting though :)
Marty I didn't your painting? I kept an eye out for your name on the walls and the brochure.
Very cool Corinne. I loved the effects you got. I'll post the work I entered - it's mixed media, called 'bones of contention'. It was in the middle room above the nude by Cindy Tiedeman on the edge closest to the opening. Since there was so much there & I was afraid I'd miss something, I took the program & started at 1 & went through the entire show that way. Pricing was quite interesting. Some were very out of whack, or maybe it's just me!
I think I may have seen it although it was so crowded I had a hard time getting up close to any work. Look forward to seeing it on here. I am going to take my friend down to the show next week so I will definitely look out for it :)
