Life As A Carnival Ride - Newel Hunter

Life As A Carnival Ride by Newel Hunter Painting 11.0 x 14.0 :: Life as a Carnival Ride is a densely layered abstract painting built around a tall roughly rectangular form. Scraped and dragged strokes of red orange yellow violet and blue gather within it while a row of bright tooth-like shapes crowns the upper edge. A vivid yellow moon stands out on the left and darker jagged marks cluster through the center. Thick black passages frame the composition giving the colorful interior the quality of a weathered mask figure or portal without settling into a single literal reading. Hunter’s bold contrasts and textured surfaces give the painting a strong physical presence. The interplay of scraped paint vertical drips and abrupt marks creates a sense of energy and unease while the small yellow circle offers a striking point of focus amid the complexity. The dark framing also helps contain the composition and heightens the intensity of its warm colors. The image sits between expressionism and abstraction: its features are recognizable yet they seem to emerge from the paint rather than from precise drawing. Carnival Ride is painted with acrylic on an 11 x 14 x .2-inch canvas panel ready to frame. It comes carefully packaged and shipped in a heavy-duty cardboard box. Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. :: Type: Painting Medium: Acrylic Style: Abstract Expressionism Subject: Abstract Width: 11.0 Height: 14.0 Depth: 0.2 Weight: 2 lbs Framed: no :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
