Birds Flyin’ High, You Know How I Feel (Unframed original abstract acrylic painting on stretched canvas, 32 x 32 inches)
(2021. Acrylic on raw folded and hand-stretch canvas , 32 x 32 inches)
An homage to Simon Hantaï, the abstract painter who in the 1960s came up with this technique which bears more resemblance to the indigo tie-dye fabric arts of Shibori and Bogolan.
The canvas was folded and clipped 150 times then painted and unfolded to reveal this intricate web pattern of the unpainted portions which happens to also resemble a flock of birds taking flight. This hand-stretched acrylic painting was made on raw unprimed canvas, which is a light beige rather than a stark bright white. The contrast of the intense ultramarine blue gives the illusion that the negative spaces are white. The pattern continues around the four edges. The title full of optimism is a line from Nina Simone’s song, “Feeling Good”. I did this painting just three weeks before the end of the most incompetent and deadly presidency the United States has ever suffered through, the month of the first vaccinations against the virus that has killed so many. There are reasons to be hopeful now.
