Featured Art

FormalPortrait

"Grab for Attention ", 36" x 24", acrylic on canvas, $1800

These chairs are everywhere. I pulled one into my studio the other day and made a formal portrait of it. My goal was to turn the ubiquitous white plastic chair into something more than meets the eye. When I added the orange extension cord running through the scene I noticed a conversation started happening between the chair and the cord. The extension cord started stealing some of the chair's glory. I feel like the chair is ignoring the cord.

It went from being a portrait of a chair to a grab for attention. I go back and forth between who's stealing the show.
