The Art League Aug 2024 Open Art Exhibit

August 3 - September 3

FREE

Lotus Flood from my Perspective Series (20×20″ mixed media on canvas) was selected by Andy Yoder, juror for the August Open Exhibit at The Art League, Alexandria, VA.

The Art League Gallery is open daily 10 am – 6 pm.

Concept and Process:

This is another play on reversing the human invasion of nature. Here, a flood of organic forms in the shape of lotus leaves reclaims the manmade structure (geometrical forms). As a colorist, I combine the chromatic push and pull with the perception of depth to generate a more dynamic composition. I took photos of old walls with exciting textures of rocks, concrete and wood, collaged them digitally to create the foundation of the composition, printed the digital image on watercolor paper and then painted over with watercolor, gouache, pastel, and ink (lines) to enhance the grunge look, then mounted on the wood panel sealed with cold wax.
