GALLERY 8
THE ARCHITECTURAL ABSTRACTS The paintings within this
Series combine my love for ancient architecture and lost civilizations. This
series is created using a variety of mediums. First, a photo emulsion transfer
is applied as the background covered by a thick coat of gel medium as to insure
the image is sealed into the paper. I then overlap and combine gradual layers of
translucent acrylic color to create the visual illusion of depth. Next, using
various techniques of drawing, painting and calligraphy I create the look of an
ancient language. Architectural elements and repetitive geometric symbols along
with simulated old-world calligraphic text are applied to create interest. The
semi-matte, textured surface of each piece is then finished by adding airbrushed
shadows and a high-gloss clear coat that further enhance the illusion of depth
and space. There are 20 image in this gallery to choose from. All images for
sale on this page are for Archival prints only.
