Brit Hansen is another artist I've admired at the Celebration of Fine Art. She calls herself a "paint carver" and she explained to me what she does. She paints a very thick layer of acrylic paint to the canvas and after it dries she carves away layer of the paint giving the remaining layer some texture. The texture is hard to see in my photographs but it reminds me a bit of the brush strokes you sometimes see on a canvas.
These two paintings of hers really grabbed my attention when I stopped at her space. And, I'm happy to report that they were purchased by a couple who were leaving the space as I stepped in. I like knowing they are going to a good home.
I really think her technique it's something I've not heard of before either.
ReplyDeletel do like every one of these paintings.
Like you though, the last two stand out.
Amazing work. I watched an artist working on blue skies with a shower squeegee the other day. I had never seen anyone work that way.
ReplyDeleteArtists have their own way of applying different techniques to make their work stand out. These are beautiful pieces.
