Daylight Souls in the Urban Garden
Daylight Souls in the Urban Garden presents a layered interplay of light and flesh, where yellow and pink hues dissolve into bodies and fragments. The slow drying process required meticulous layering, extending the creation of the work over more than seven years.
Daylight Souls in the Urban Garden
Oil on canvas / 120 x 160 cms / 2014-2022
Paiting process
It all begins with an idea of overlapping the Urban Bodies characters as plain colour figures until the figures start sharing body parts and the resulting image does not allow to identify a single figure. The playful combination of body parts and the opacity that oil paint allows in the process contribute to a semi abstract semi figurative artwork. Made out of four canvases, the long drying process and other commitments extended the completion of this piece, which finally took seven long years.
