Description of work: I will be creating a painting composed of multiple components with acrylic and oil paint on treated laser cut steel. The work will take up approximately 6 x 8 feet. There is one large central image that will be surrounded by several small components that will hang separately. The imagined, dreamlike image depicts an open-mouthed tiger's head spewing a stream of organic elements, including fruit, a mushroom, animal parts, a human mouth, and a tropical plant. The head is surrounded by various organic, geometric, and manufactured forms, including insect wings, molecules, strips of color, floral forms, human teeth, and several honey bees hovering around the periphery. Each element will be laser cut from a sheet of treated steel, so as to have the form appear to be floating on the wall without the constraints of a canvas or other substrate.
The image will be painted in a very tightly rendered style and appear to be like a very large collage floating on the wall. I can email a sketch. |
