Free shipping on this piece: Artist's Statement: "I recognize that this image is a bit creepy. I painted this during the coronavirus, with Passover (familiar to Christians and Jews) on the way. If you are a person of faith, you will understand that the message is ultimately hopeful, however. "I have been making these paintings beginning with a basic form using tar, a materials I worked with way back that I have begun using again because of its extraordinary beauty and physical principles. Then I go in with oil and acrylic, and generally use the house paint to flatten the surface and add to the negative space, reducing the more solid forms that push forward. This is one of the few thus far that I have done on paper." I would recommend framing this piece behind non-glare glass, with a mat of ivory color.
