Eyes That Dream — Fine Art

Broad painted fields meet hard edges in Eyes That Dream - 20.3.08 Clifford Dies - 2008. The surface holds layers of colour laid down by hand, with edges where the paint stops and the ground shows through. A date sits in the title, and the work carries that sense of a record kept in paint.

The fine art print keeps the painted surface flat so the edges read as they were left. A light frame on a dark wall lets the colour bands stand apart, or a dark frame on a pale wall gives the painted fields their own space.

It works on a kitchen wall near the sink, where the light changes through the day. From the breakfast table you see the blocks of colour, and the hand made edges stay clear without effort.
