Remnants of a Book Burning

Remnants of a Book Burning
Acrylic and tinted graphite on 30" x 20" board

I kept this one simple and raw, with a more limited palette than usual. If you look close enough, you'll see that it's really 3 repeated shapes, united by the blackened center region. But, to me, these things become the charred but colorful husks of forbidden books. It's lonely, hurt and hopeful, as intended.

It's got a bit of a Cy Twombly thing going on. And I'm OK with that.

The support was coated with Golden's absorbent ground, which tears nicely off the smooth foil surface of the board, adding to the abused feel of the work.

I hope you like it. I do.
