21c LED Translucent Canvas
From ConTEMPO 2020 Art Innovations
MVR Solo Exhibition of Lucent Mixed Media Art Works
Above works first developed in 2020 in response to the Covid-19 crisis in NYC unfolding daily since the pandemic in the US began.
During the weekend of NYC’s Covid-19 Lockdown, I advanced 4 Standing Free Canvas works by backlighting the archival canvas print of each with LED color strips. Then with Hard Pastel media I fine-tuned each cyclically to 16 distinct RGB colors at their brightest. Pinpointing nuanced changes by illuminated light on canvas pastels was subject of serious investigation .
2021 Then works gave rise to 2 nascent inventions identified . They then defined materials and their assembly for prototypes of them. These Prototypes, in kind, finalized works’ compositions and end colors, exacting great skill, quality materials, & clarity -- visually and thematically -- through many giclee iterations.
