The Mask
Acrylic Painting
Artist Statement
“The Mask” was created in response to the loss of a young nephew. It is an expression of grief, loss, regret and anger. I am normally a colorist, so black and white reflect the emotions I was experiencing at the time. Thoughts of the modern works by Picasso, Braque & Kandinsky were in my mind.
The painting was created with a mixture of acrylic paints and wallpaper paste. Using impasto techniques, I pushed, pulled, stamped, scraped and painted with every tool in my studio. The image was complete, when I was able to rest. Then I painted the border, deckled the edges, dry-mounted the painting to a medium gray mat and sealed the entire work with a satin UV Varnish. Joy & relief.
