While visiting the studio of a local artist I encountered an engaging work -- a drawing-on-paper portraying ocean turbulence. The artist depicts seascapes in most of her work and here she captures motion in a remarkable way. You'd swear the picture is exploding in tumult. The drawing's magnitude facilitates this perception: eight feet wide and four feet tall the image appears life-size.
I took possession of the work today. I'm imagining how this dynamic drawing will transform sedate space when I display it with other art.
Beautiful drawing indeed. Great art purchase for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivana. Your opinion matters!
DeleteThat drawing is absolutely incredible ... I can definitely see why it appealed to you! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. You have good taste!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous piece, Ally! Well-chosen! It will contrast nicely with the simplicity and colour of your art-glass pieces.
ReplyDeleteExactly. That's my thought.
DeleteMagnificent and impressive.
ReplyDeleteThe size of your art reminds me of my college English professor. He gave extra credit for students who would visit the art crawl each month, so my friends and I would carpool downtown Nashville for it. It was fun, there was cheap pizza and free drinks.
But the thing that stuck with me was the teacher got drunk and purchased a very, very large painting for his wedding anniversary. It was so large, they couldn't fit it in the door!
I know your art space is going to welcome this new addition. I can almost hear the ocean roar.
Thanks. Fortunately paintings can be removed from their frames, rolled up and re-framed to slide inside doors. :)
DeleteThat's fantastic! Far too chaotic for my taste, but it's a great piece. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks. To me chaos is the nature of oceanic turbulence.
DeleteGoodness, this is startlingly vibrant despite the lack of colour- it is so full of life and movement! It reminds me of a time window in Doctor Who- are you sure it isn't- have you tried putting a foot through????X
