Amsterdam Squares

katerose — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:24:27 +0000

Composition made up of 12 5×5 inch canvases. Each canvas was hand painted and involve image transfers from photographs I took while in Amsterdam. The idea behind this composition is a story line of a new traveler, experiencing a foreign city for the first time. The photos start by trying to capture all of the city at once, and while the traveler spends more time in this new place, photos began to capture the little things that make the city so beautiful. These images overlap, creating an overall understanding of the traveler absorbing their surroundings.

Layered Painting

Each layer is created by repeating a single “abstract” symbol representing a specific idea. All together these symbols associate with the main theme, and layered within this painting is that theme. The final composition reveals the layering process, and connects the ideas resulting in the development of the theme. The theme for this painting is a modern approach depicting the tangible desires of Marie Antoinette.

Night Glow

This is a painting I did for my mother Christmas 2008. She fell in love with a painting at the Winter Park Art Festival several years ago, and described it to me many times. It was a deep forest with three glowing lights floating within it, each orb representing one of her children. This was my interpretation.

Painted with acrylic on a recycled canvas. The highlights in the forest and the glowing lights were done in metallic pearl paint, and the photo does not do its illumination justice. The metallic details reflect light beautifully and actually appear to glow in shadows.
