Arizona's dream (2017)Acrylic painting by Catalin Ilinca
99 x 145 x 0.1cm (unframed)
£1,380.6Sold
Original artwork description
When conceiving this artwork, I was inspired by Lars Von Trier's movie Melancholia.
It's about the contemplative attitude during a catastrophic event, about the refusal to face a tough reality. My artwork is a visual metaphor of human weakness counterposed to the imminent force of nature... or maybe chance?
It belongs to my "Magic Expressionism" series. It is not expressionism, surrealism, post-modernism, or new abstract etc. It's a paraphrase to the concept of "Magic Realism" - that generally describes the well known artistic movement in the South American Literature, but not only -, brought to the field of visual arts.
- the exact size is 145 x 99 cm / 57.1 x 39 inches.
- I applied to it more isolating layers of satin final varnish.
- it has about 7-8 cm (3 inches) extra white margin on the edges, in order to be stretched on wooden frame later on.
Materials used:
acrylic, varnish, gesso, canvas
Details:
- Acrylic painting on Canvas
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 99 x 145 x 0.1cm (unframed)
- Signed on the front
- Style: Surrealistic
- Subject: People and portraits
