Artist's Comments

for some reason I've been told that the title of this painting should be french.. so now it is.... it's very mysterious, and probably mis-translated.

project from my painting class
copying a collage.
pretty much realism drives me crazy but i love it.


***
acrylic
liquid medium
metallic paint
on panel
30'' x 24'' in.

one of the images in the collage was [link] from :iconodessa11stock:
the rest are from magazines, and the origami I made myself.

This looks a lot better than the collage :D Really great treatment on all the surfaces and colour-matching.

I must say, the treatment on the torn edges of the paper is exceptionally cool.

:) And the colours work surprisingly more efficiently to pull together the composition than it did with the collage. I think the tones are a little closer together in the painting, and all the surfaces become equal.

In space and in time
I hope you shall tell
That neither is far from each other
But in it or without belief of it
Would be to live in hell.

i honestly thought for a second that the cranes had been photographed over the collage, and not painted.

this is beautiful work, terribly romantic without coming off as trite. what i really love is the fact that you painted a collage with variations of 3d and 2d elements... the still life origami, the photorealistic magazine cut out eyes, the art-nouveau like painterly body, illustrative flowers, flat coloured comic book face.

this is really very inspiring.
