Muybridge Nude, Ascending
13 x 23 cms  2007
SOLD for $1300
 


Because the paintings were so small, artists were allowed 4 entries. I did two.
With a headful of Muybridge images (I have just bought two more volumes of his photos), I did this one. The balancing brown shape at the bottom started off with an orange in a red bowl on it, but the scale did NOT work, so I screwed up some gold paper instead. I stayed with the paint-crusted wall I had used in A Muybridge Nude, as I wanted the wall to be an element in its own right - not just an area of paint linking the nudes, shelf and paper. It is so difficult to make a flat area of paint be as solid as a wall.

Now, with all those images rattling around in my head, I am faced with the problem of repeating this sort of thing ad infinitum, or what?
