Medium rich variable textures are created using a delicate combination of oil paints thinned with mineral oil with grease pencils directly on the paper. There are erased pencil marks, so it seems this is a pro type picture.
Denver based, artist Mary Mackey's Mythos Series is celebrated for bridging the gap between pure abstract geometric styling and minimal human portraiture. The top right reminds me of hair blowing in the wind or two people talking and we can only see their noses.
Mythos explores abstract interpretation of simple forms,ancient motifs and collective human imagery. The composition relies on stacked, organic columns that frame a luminous central space.
True to her signature technique of her modern works, this piece features her experimentation with vellum and Mylar overlays. She achieves distinct depth and soft translucent quality by layering these translucent sheets over heavy paper.
