Description

Deep Earth No. 1 The Pursuit of Excellence

“DEEP EARTH- The Pursuit of Excellence” is abstract expressionist / figurative abstraction with a twist that brings together disparate elements - ( acrylic on canvas, sketch, and photo-art ) - into a “collaborative consensus” via digital rendering. Some viewers see TIGER WOODS in his Sunday attire at Pebble Beach...

*THANKS ... I appreciate your comments, “Likes” and “Faves” and all the accompanying good energies!


This image asks: How can such varying elements open to novel perspectives to convey a story or metaphor?

THEME AND SYMBOLISM:: In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of Earth tones with changing light symbolizes positive change through envisioning resolution and growth through self-awareness. “Deep Earth- The Pursuit of Excellence” is a visual narrative of each individual’s journey on Planet Earth as symbolized by the figure of the lone golfer braving the rocky cliffs to find each new level of awareness –(the red flags.) This is the story of a solitary quest - where the forces at work go deep into the "ground of personal integrity.”

I hope that viewers may find a bit of intrigue - linger awhile, start a conversation about the story and its relevance.

THE BACK-STORY: : This is a collage in which the spaces, lines, textures and rhythms invite your interpretation. The visual image began as a photo of two (2) of my canvases combined. It took shape as an acrylic on canvas from a photo I took of a golfer making way on rocky terrain. I created a collage with the rock slide canvas –
(seen in other images in this collection) – then photographed the canvas and again blended elements into the collage.

Now it evolved into a mixed media, modern contemporary (new media) paintography piece. I took another photo. I subjected that final iteration to the whims of my muse-(and computer)- here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina where it became this digital rendering.

“DEEP EARTH- The Pursuit of Excellence” continues a theme that runs through my work : Nature, metaphor, personal integrity, and the fraught process of selection we—each of us— face daily : The choice to look for worthy possibility in what is around us.

METHOD:: I create visual narratives from what is around me- make sketches into canvas work, then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering such as what you see in this piece. I reach out for the story and metaphor in a visual narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in a feeling of lyrical abstraction. These elements offer a sense of coming together - a collection of concepts and forms that take shape.

This is Modern Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Narrative, and Digital Paintography with a Twist. Look for interpretations of outer/inner landscapes with a persistent focus on patterns and bold or unusual color. Photo and digital manipulation mostly NOT an accurate interpretation, seek to explore the essence of the subject. I move shapes, colors, forms, textures, layering and the overall gestalt to achieve an effect. Expect glimpses of reality from unusual perspectives. Image-making prompted by nature.



*THANKS AGAIN ... I so appreciate your comments, “Likes” and “Faves” and all the accompanying Good Energy.

**PLEASE NOTE:: You can create with this piece as a framed (or unframed) gallery-quality print for your living spaces...possibly a very cool soft and durable duvet covers, fabric shower curtains, and throw pillows for that pop of pizzazz would work for you? ...or surprise family and friends with unique greeting cards...or yourself with a weekender tote...



P.S. Golfers may get a kick out of this nod to the difficulty and intricacy of the game...
