Acrylic, found objects and photography on sculpted canvas.
51x47"
Mixed Media: Acrylic, photography, and found material on Shaped Canvas. This is a combination of a painting on location (camping at Sandbanks) and then combining that painting with the photo which was taken at the time, later in my studio to create one coherent piece. This process is very challenging since I paint before I actually see and print the photo. What I’m actually painting is my impression of the moment. I strive to combine realism, in the form of photography, with abstraction using a variety of acrylic techniques. In this process, I combine two different types of canvas into one coherent unit.
The photo for this painting was taken after I have shot a sunset which I turned into a painting called "The Last Sunset". Therefore the title of this one is "After the Sunset". I knew that there will be a full moon that night and me and my daughter spend a few hours after midnight shooting the moon. I finished this painting in my studio in January 2016.
The painting is done in 5 panels that can be taken apart for shipping.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Postmodern art has a fixation on absolute contrasts; photography and painting, abstract and representation, and conceptual and practical. My study is a dismantling of these conventional categories through the integration of elements found within sculpture, painting, and photography.
The sculpted canvases are handmade and unique to each artwork. The structural forms fragment the frame and instill movement, disrupting the conventional geometric configuration of wall-mounted artwork.
Each piece is a deconstruction of the surrounding environment, as the structural form of the canvas abstracts the natural lines within. My investigation into the tradition of Canadian art, the unadulterated beauty of the physical world, and resonating passing memory, results in an attempt to communicate the grandeur and fragility of nature.
