Behemoth 56×68 2018

Behemoth is the result of a months long project and is my largest piece to date. I’ve been continuing my work with transparencies, and comparing the effects of paint on gesso versus the appearance of paint on clear medium. The colors are a gentle mix of three different paints that all subtly take over their own space, building what I call “communities of color” on the painting. My goal for this painting was to create a different image for each different viewer, depending on their personality and mood. It was designed to capture the viewer with it’s intensity, and invite them to draw on their own imagination within the paint.
