RADISHES ON GOLDEN ARABESQUE CLOTH 8x8" (SOLD!)


PURCHASED BY ART COLLECTOR FROM RAGLEY, LOUISIANA
I enjoy the dialogue between the evocative radish forms and the movement within the cloth and negative space. This particular rendition of radishes also breaks the conventional compositional mold of radishes, where all of them are clumped together in a single group. Additionally, the paint surface is rooted in abstraction, containing a large variety of "painterly marks" that contain meaning in themselves and also define the form. This notion was the touchtone of painters such as Degas, John Singer Sargent and Goya.

Greetings,
If you don't have a blogger account, and rather not set one up, just leave a comment without a name. I'm interested in hearing what you think about the work, in addition to the international sustainable movement.
Thanks,
Hall Groat II, American Artist
