kamea gallery - prints - Voluptuous Lines

Voluptuous Lines is taken from a section of Chirpy, a spiraling painting three feet tall by sixty feet long. The image deals with the first and simplest of the five elements of design: line. Line can be used to create the rest of the visual alphabet: shape, mass, texture and color. In the piece simple lines create a plane and add dimension as they melt over the mass of a human form. The opposing shades create a bright clash of color while the drips pictured, coupled with the thickness of the actual paint screen-printed, add to the texture of the design. One can see and actually feel the paint oozing off the figure’s fingertips and down the shirt. The surreal qualities are reminiscent of Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory which depicts his famous melting clocks and, like most of his work, exhibits a deep understanding of the use of the elements of design. Deep planes and interesting imagery can be seen in both works, although the “bare-bones” feel of Voluptuous Lines makes obvious the potential of the use of lines to create so much more.
