Thanks to a fruitful conversation I have been having with a new painting friend, whose work I assure you I will introduce here in coming weeks, the work of
Albert Irvin was brought up. I am particularly taken with his monoprints.
I enjoy how saturated the color can feel while keeping it all within a certain tone. It reminds me of the way things look right after the sun sets, when color is vibrant but dark. Coincidentally or maybe this is the reason why I am interested in his work currently, I am attempting to make a big painting of that time of day. An enormous challenge that is getting the best of me at the present moment-- hats off to these monoprints.
