Perhaps what is most compelling about what we see in Paper Spread is the way it transforms simple, unremarkable patterns, colors and shapes into something that is much more compelling that each of its components might indicate is possible. Essential to any experience of Paper Spread are the textures and shapes that dominate the piece, and create a truly unforgettable experience all confined to the simple borders of several pieces of stretched canvas. The subject of this original canvas painting is difficult to pin down, yet several unions of lines and shapes that are reminiscent of flowers create a compelling bid for the status of “focal point” in Paper Spread. The stems of these flowers rise from the base of the piece first as thin, cream colored lines, and then slowly melt outwards to create something akin to the bloom on a flower. These portions of the painting provided the most richly textured points. Like crumpled paper, these seem to encompass many folds, and add a great deal of dimension to the piece as a whole. The background of Paper Spread is perhaps just as interesting as anything portrayed in the foreground. The backdrop here is dominated by geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and bars of color that are spread out across the network of canvases across which this piece is spread. The artist has used shapes in the colors of burgundy, ivory and brown. These colors are just bold enough to grab the attention of the viewer, but also contribute to the delicate composition and feel of the piece overall. Beyond these shapes, the background is a simple and clean white. Paper Spread succeeds magnificently in creating a piece that is at once bold and demure, absolutely exhilarating to view and discuss, but also soothing in its dimensions. This piece will make a fantastic addition to any room!
The design of Paper Spread is a fairly modern one that creates a contemporary feel for the piece and expands upon the geometric themes already present in its contents. The artist of this painting has opted to use three separate canvas panels to spread the subject matter across. Of these three pieces, the two outlying panels are of the same size and rectangular shape, while the center panel is also rectangular, but a great deal larger. This layout perfectly compliments the subject matter here and creates parallels between elements present in the painting and the design itself.
