LineScape II, King & Bathurst

Acrylic and photo transfers on canvas.

LINESCAPES SERIES: This painting, 'LineScape II, King & Bathurst', represents a chapter in my ‘Totem’ series. With ‘LineScapes’, I look, in closer detail, at the incredible network of wires above us, intersecting the skies over our cities. I focus on the graceful, dynamic patterning they create when captured as a small section of the tangled views overhead. The results are strong, graphic abstract paintings. For each canvas, I choose a lyrical interplaying section of wires to paint. For This one, 'Linescape II', I added a layer of photo transfers of text and numbers that suggest the unheard, unseen communication and energy running through the lines. As I paint over top the photo transfers, I leave areas clear around the linework, creating an aura glowing around the lines representing the power inside.
