- Lido in the woods
Original artwork description
I just like pools and diving into them.. but more than I am drawn to depictions of leisure as beach or pool 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: 81.28 x 55.88 x 0.25cm (unframed) / 78.74 x 53.34cm (actual image size)
- Signed on the front
- Style: Impressionistic
- Subject: Landscapes, sea and sky
