Lost Wisdom

This glossy abstract has textural paint chip inclusions, sanded to reveal various colors.  Sweeping orange shapes among a foreboding black background set off five roughly circular shapes done in gun metal blue.  A dowel positioned on a brace behind the face, presses the back of the canvas to distort the surface with what I call a protrusion; my first use of this device.  The canvas becomes a foray into 3D sculpture… of sorts.
