Description
This painting features a background of soft, muted greens with whimsical Greek patterns. It has images of three men of varying ethnicity inset and painted realistically. The patterns emphasize the flatness of the painting which really makes the realistically modelled faces seem to extend out from it, thus the title.
This painting is part of my "Quilt Series" in which I strive to incorporate my signature, portraiture technique of building up layers of luminous color to create faces that seem to pulse with life and arranging them in a abstract format, rather like a quilt. Drawing from the past my love of pattern, both in rhythmic repetitions of simple shapes and in formal patterns of textiles and pottery. I am creating pieces that whisper of origins, oneness and hope.
