This is another of my Plaster based sculpture / painting. I just love making art that you can feel.
The influence behind this piece is a little different, but then again if you have seen some of my other works, They are all different.
Truth is I am a very practical person and direct. So the story behind this artwork is that in another time in my life I was a property developer and was always on my building sites.
One windy day I was on site and had all my paper files on the hood of my 4x4 when a gust of wind blew them ever where. That is what gave me the idea for this piece.
Now the construction of it was a real trick. I made 7 Trapezium shaped hollow cards, stuck them together, plastered over them, then with the help of my son, gentle lifted the cards. Then paint!!!!
A lot of thought and a lot of fun. It looks fantastic on a wall with the correct lighting.
The texture gives it depth and the shadow lines give it character.
This piece is 152 cm wide and 76 cm high and 4 cm thick. It weighs 5 Kg.
I made this piece in 2007 on a quality canvas and is blocked at the back for the stability of the plaster.
It has had pride of place in my den and as I am not getting any younger, I think it is time that it went to some one that appreciates the beauty of this piece, as much as I do.
On the back is a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity. It is wired ready to hand and has felt cushions to protect your walls.
It does not need a frame as the edges are fully painted.
