Untitled (For Luna)

Untitled (For Luna), 60" by 72", oil on canvas, 2018

My latest canvas is the second largest single panel painting I have made so far (the biggest being 6' by 6'). It's difficult to capture in digital form but the effect of the low light on the surface of the canvas creates an interesting buzz as our eyes try to adjust. A buzzing sensation is compounded by the approximate value of the line work. Below are some of the comments on the work:
-relates to the environment and to our bodies
-is it a portal? can you step into it?
-digital/molecule/atomic/cellular structure hints
-also 3D effect
-push/pull contrasts
-strong in less-than-ideal lighting
-pre-built colour, not out of the tube or simply "blue"
-interrupted field
-speak about the difficulty of looking
-not as painful to look at as some of my other work (I liked that comment)
-opticality
-autonomy
-physical
-this painting is trying to show something
-also about time
