"Jazz," 2011
|
|
Artist's Statement: The lights dim, the mood is set, and the drum-and-cymbal rhythm begins filling your ears. Colored lights stream down toward the stage and immerse the female singer as she hits the first melodic note of this night full of jazz. You are caught away... Painting Including Frame: Presentation: This is an acrylic painting on wood with a polyurethane clear coat sprayed over it. There were no colors used in this work from the official palette. History/Exhibitions: 2004: Created as an album cover for Dana LeBlanc's CD "Just Me." Created first with an ink drawing that was scanned into the computer and digitally colored. 2007: Created a postcard with the image repeating with different outline colors. This had the text "Los Angeles Collection" across the top. 2007: Merchandise displaying the Jazz image produced. 2011, July 23rd: Image based on this illustration is replicated in chalk at the Italian Street Painting Festival, Corona, CA. 2011, September 7th: Definitive painting completed. 2011, September 8th: Displayed as part of the JUNCTION show. An important illustration because this was the very first experiment in the new style back in 2004. At that time I did not expect to change my style, I was only coming up with a flashy cover for a CD. "Jazz" photo album is located here. Original painting may be still available for purchase here.
