This acrylic painting is on 300 lb water color paper, which is heavier than chipboard and has uneven edges, because it’s handmade. Using acrylic paint the artist attached gauze and later a white coarse weave that got semi-cancelled by an insistent black brush stroke. The composition consists of rectilinear shapes boldly applied with a large brush. The gauze, which becomes visible only close up, adds not only a surprising texture but also an unexpected contrapuntal delicacy to this otherwise sturdy composition.
Jan Fleckman, acrylic on paper, ~30” x 24”
