Amid the Clay is an inspiring composition that pits human figures against the turbulent world of shape and color. Full of lines that move arch across the canvas in contrast to shapes with rigid lines, this painting makes use of everything available to the artist to create a seamless and unforgettable portrait of human life amid the tumult and chaos of life. This original canvas painting, amid a turbulent series of colors, finds quite a simple subject at its heart. Two figures stand just left of center in Amid the Clay, and they are certainly the most compelling aspect of this unique piece of canvas art. These figures are rendered quite minimalistic, with little detail to them, and in this manner, they quite well suit the abstract, modern background in which they find themselves. The figure on the left is dressed in white, standing out a great deal from the dark tones that dominate the piece. This figure is taller than the other, and wears in head wrapping in the same luminous shade of white. Immediately to the right of this first figure is a second, dressed in orange, smaller in stature. These two figures stand amid what appears to be a series of arched doorways in a concrete sense, or perhaps may be read simply as a series of shapes. These background blocks and arcs are done in a number of somber tones that include maroon, dark blue, black, and red, with dashes of lighter colors such as yellow. The interesting contrasts set up in this painting are both literal and metaphorical, and it will certainly provide a point of interest in any home. Amid the Clay can be displayed in nearly any room, from bathroom to bedroom!
The design of Amid the Clay takes on an interesting shape that will further enhance the viewing experience for most. This painting is comprised of three separate canvas panels. Each of these panels is of a different size, while all maintain a rectangular shape. The center canvas is the largest, and rightly so, as it holds the primary subjects. The pieces on the fringes are much narrower, and provide for an interesting shape across the canvas. If you enjoy the wild shapes and layering techniques used in this painting, you will find more to your liking in our
Abstract Painting gallery. In that section you will be charmed by pieces such as
Picnic for Two that provide a similarly abstract backdrop for traditional subjects to be displayed.
