Crossing




Title: Crossing
Format: 109x108x1 cm (app)
Technique: Oil on wood
Production year: 2015
To paint this artwork I have used the repeating stripe, one of the basic geometrical figures, shapes or patterns. I have painted stripes through a set of parallel lines or fields, running alongside each other separated by different colours of white, blue, grey, yellow and orange constituting a landscape. Parallel lines have a certain interesting quality, in that they seemingly run forever, this brings forward an element or aspect of gravity or eternity to them like the landscapes in our earth. Sometimes elements or units or energies cross the seemingly static flow fro different reasons. 
The painting is made with oil paint on a solid wood plate, 1 cm deep. It can be displayed from all angles. The backside of the painting has a another painting, a bonus painting for the buyer. So when one needs a change of scenery one can just turn the painting around, and there you will find a motive of a woman's head. This painting is also displayed on my page, it is titled «Sunset in the valley». 
The painting has no arrangement for hanging. The original is more evenly white in the colors, like the left white field.
