Painting: Lost spaces

"Lost spaces"
is an acrylic painting on plate. The face has been worked with over a long period, removing layers of paint, building again, also using a knife for linework, creating a rough texture for the close appearance. The visible text elements in the background (I awoke to an ordinary morning) and (we are not alone) are made with a knife, finding its way down to the deep layers of the paint. There is more text in the background, visible as rough texture in a close appearance, also made with a knife. The photo of the painting is not as sharp as it should have been, the original has a little more edge and contrast. A wooden frame is glued on to the backside of the plate (app. 2 cm deep). The sides of the frame are painted in the same colour palette as the background. It can be put up like this but it would probably benefit on a nice frame. It will be put up for sale at Saatchi Online Gallery. www.saatchionline.com/siriskogstadberntsen
