Description
Safari Kenya No. 3 - "The Vastness"
was inspired by a photo of water bucks wading in the vast landscape of Kenya, Africa taken by my friend while on safari there. Painting VASTNESS was the challenge for me, so here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina, I set about the task. To portray a sense of the limitless, I turned to abstract expressions- in a post painterly style- digitally rendered from photos.
. A combination of photos inspired by Michael Conner and my sketches it "arrived" when I used my smartphone to capture the JPEG then added layers (hundreds !+) to create the digital rendering you see.
Materials Often Used: pen-and-ink for design, watercolor and canvas paper, gloss medium, some oil pastels, bits of acrylic paint and sometimes glazing medium, smartphone to create JPEG, digital-rendering and photo manipulation- this is a collage-mixed media piece.
Meaning behind the digital collage - a story to tell: Promising Tales of Life on Planet Earth. This follows with my theme in narrative art with emotive content- ( some call an inner landscape)- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story.
Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the viewer. My thought is that visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, can build on an promising tale of life on planet Earth.
THE VASTNESS symbolizes the huge potential available to us- a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape. This piece may have a particular appeal as the visual narrative reveals that even disparate parts CAN work together.
