"Beneath the Surface" | 48" x 48" | Acrylic on Canvas
When I purchased a blank 48"x48" stretched canvas back in 2009 only to discover it wouldn't fit in my car, the universe gave me a hand in the form of a friend who just happened to be shopping in the art store and could give my canvas a ride home. I then got to work on a painting that would turn out to have a most fascinating journey.
"Beneath the Surface" was born in 2010. I loved the physicality of working on a piece this large, and it was an experiment in pure abstraction of the figure underwater as viewed from above. Although I enjoyed the process and loved the finished piece, it still didn't fit in my car! It seemed I was always looking for someone to drive it around for me!! The universe took note and again gave me a hand, this time introducing me to a company that rents art to movies and television.
Becoming one of their favorites, my painting was featured in their showroom from 2014 to 2019, appearing in numerous shows, including NCI Los Angeles, Going Under, New Girl, Reverie, Lethal Weapon, 10 Days in the Valley, Libby and Malcolm, Training Day, Criminal Minds and Lucifer. It was rented a total of fifteen times, with its biggest claim to fame being "Big Little Lies". Appearing as a backdrop for Nicole Kidman in S2, E4, she exclaimed to Meryl Streep to "Get the *#$% out of here!!", as an evil Meryl explained "We need to do what's best for the boys".
Several arranged car rides after its run there, in 2022, it witnessed a storage break-in where it was fortunately not harmed! Facing yet another move, I finally took the painting off the bars and rolled it up.
Recently unrolling the painting for the first time in a while, I flung my arms to the heavens and exclaimed "If this painting could talk, what a story it would tell!! This painting needs a home"!
I'm offering this unique piece of Art that has rubbed elbows with the stars, at a very special price of $1,850.
48”x48”, Acrylic on Canvas, unstretched, unframed, so I would ship this in a tube.
“Beneath the Surface” definitely has a tale to tell…perhaps you're just the person it will whisper its story to!
