Original artwork description
This is an almost abstract beach scene.
A beach is a place where people are partly naked yet unaware and in a 'natural' setting
so in some way this subject matter is timeless. I am drawn on the other hand to a nostalgic pleasure and it is difficult for me to separate the two, nostalgia from the depiction of pleasure if not impossible. This intersection is what I find interesting.
Materials used:
paper, graphite, gouache
Details:
- Gouache painting on Paper
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 58.42 x 43.18 x 0.25cm (unframed) / 50.8 x 40.64cm (actual image size)
- Signed on the front
- Style: Expressive and gestural
- Subject: People and portraits
