Original painting. Acrylic on panel, 33x29x5”, 2020.

La Vie de Sirène features deep blue-greens and violets rising up into brilliant blue light. I painted it in acrylic on tightly-woven, portrait-quality linen, adhered using my archival “wet-stretching” method to one of my dimensional panels, which varies simultaneously  in height, width, and depth across the work. Following my breakthrough work Midnight Duel, the form and composition of La Vie de Sirène activates the space around it, blurring the line between painting and sculpture, between painting and cinema, between painting and life, as it activates the fourth dimension of time through the viewer’s engagement with it. Taking it further, here, painting is no longer a static view of the world, but the immersive experience of seeing the world through a new perspective, as one would if they could live within the depths of the ocean.

Details:

• Acrylic on linen over dimensional panel. I used only professional-quality acrylic paints with excellent lightfastness ratings in the creation of this work, and varnished it to further ensure that it retains its color, vibrancy, and iridescence for centuries.

• This work varies in height, width, depth, and pitch. Maximum dimensions (HxWxD): 33x29x5” at upper right. Minimum depth is 2” at lower left.

• This work is signed, titled, and dated on the back. This work is wired on the back for easy installation.

• No framing is necessary, as the composition extends to the sides of the work and is integral to its presentation.
