Artist’s Statement: “I did some paintings years ago incorporating simple, meditative iconic forms, and they had a quiet, brooding formality about them. As with this painting, the surfaces were very complex (paint, tar, oil pastel, collage, etc.). The orange shape on the left came into being on its own, and to my own delight became a lighthearted comment on the gravity of those earlier paintings. We tend to take art too seriously, and I'm certainly guilty. Anyway, I find this to be a beautiful painting to look at that checks its own gravity with a dose of childhood innocence.
Charcoal, House Paint, Acrylic, Oil Pastel, Tar, Handmade Paper.

Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans.
