Fruit Tree with Fencing
Fruit Tree with Fencing
Geometric, simple and balanced. Most cultures develop formulas of beauty and art that later come to define the “style” of their age. Think of the geometric patterns of the roaring twenties, or the landscape paintings of the 1800’s. After months of studying first century Roman art, this piece is my crack at one of the formulas I uncovered in this distinct era of art. Compositionally centered fruit tree + geometric fencing + indistinct receding background + stylized plants in foreground = Fruit Tree with Fencing. I normally shy away from the planned and formulaic, but stepping into a forgotten system that would have been completely natural to a muralist 2,000 years ago ended up being a really fascinating and enjoyable process for me.
This 30”x40” acrylic creation is painted on archival canvas and framed in a natural wood floater frame to give it just the right amount of emphasis without overwhelming or overshadowing the piece’s simple beauty.
