"tragic optimism" original acrylic and collage on paper. 16" x 20" (18" x 22" framed)
The concept of this came in a flash of frustration where I saw it as blues and grays with black and white paint splatters. By the time I was in a position to start working on it I was in better place mentally and it had changed to blue and gold. No circumstance or state of mind is permanent.
Some of the papers used in the circles have foil accents in the patterns or were painted with iridescent medium. A few circles have bits of text. Some have linear patterns that in their original context were architectural details from a drawing of a church. Some have textures that look like pebbles but are in fact close-ups of incense grains. The circles with tiny pink roses are actually pieces of a box of incense sticks.
The black fame is included. Shipping is additional.
