Artwork Description

The Gathering

30.0 x 30.0 inches

I start out utilizing original and vintage surface pattern designs printed on assorted papers and randomly cover a prepared stretched canvas. The figures are created by negative painting the background in acrylic revealing a gathering seated around a table, engaged in conversation. They are a representation of friendship, family and the human condition. I began experimenting with this technique in 2024 and liken it to an archeological dig, exposing a variation of figures without any real plan. This piece garnered a 3rd place cash award in a juried NY gallery exhibit in March 2025.
