I have recently been working on a series of two inch by two inch paintings. These petite paintings are monochromes and some are coated in polymer resin, much like my "larger" works. With these small paintings I am interested in the scale of the human figure to a painting the size of a jeweled broach. By working small, the viewer is forced to come closer to see the details in the piece. Also, these little paintings are a method of experimenting with a glow. I use fluorescent paints on the back of the small works. When floated off the wall, colored shadows appear like halos over these precious gems/ paintings.
The above image is one of twenty works sized at two inches completed.
