Sculpture | Iron Mountain
$1,350+-
My sister in gave me an interesting image of an old movie theater we knew. The image had been constructed with facets. I asked John if he could make a painting similar to this. He said yes but he wanted to give the idea a more exciting structure using a variety of other images. Moving toward this commission we reviewed digital sketches that showed me what the painting would look like. I gave him the go ahead, and he went to work. I even got to see the painting in his studio a couple of times before it was complete. It was a pleasure to be included. He also posted the progressive images on the web as he got closer to completion. Palace now hangs in my dining room and invokes fond memories for me of going to movies with my sister.
The sculpture is made of painted wood and iron. The pieces forming the abstract landscape are aspen, milled and carved by the artist. They are painted with transparent acrylic directly into untreated wood, leaving the grain visible. The three pieces are irregularly milled and painted on the visible edges, as well as the frontal surfaces. The iron panel is a found object with an aged surface; it has acrylic painted regions. All components are protected by polyurethane varnish, which has been buffed to a completely matte finish. All the glyphs are creations of the artist. Signed on an edge.
Dimensions: 21.5" x 17.5" x 2.5"
