“The Wise One” Abstract Art Painting Wood Framed Wall Art by Robert MacDonald

Description

Titled “The Wise One,” this captivating artwork is both vibrant and expressive, cleverly capturing the viewer’s attention with its lively composition. Measuring 24″ x 18″ and rendered in acrylic, the piece features two abstract circular forms that dominate the canvas. Each circle is filled with an intense array of colors, blending energetic splashes and strokes of red, blue, yellow, green, and black. The brushstrokes are dynamic and fluid, creating a beautiful sense of movement that invites the eye to explore and discover.

The juxtaposition of colors and shapes brings about areas of both harmony and stark contrast, enhancing the overall expressive quality of the artwork. The bold, overlapping patterns evoke a feeling of vitality and dynamism, while simultaneously revealing deeper layers of meaning. The use of primary colors conveys a sense of simplicity and purity, yet the composition is anything but simple, suggesting a more complex interpretation.

As you gaze upon the piece, you may notice an intriguing suggestion of form; some might see the resemblance to a wise person wearing glasses, or even an owl, its silent observance hinting at a deeper narrative on wisdom. The conceptual element, that wisdom can be found in unexpected places, adds a unique twist to the viewing experience, making it as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning. “The Wise One” is a testament to the artist’s ability to blend color, energy, and meaning into a single dynamic creation.

Burnished Layering Process by Robert MacDonald

This painting utilized Robert MacDonald’s unique and captivating multi-stage process for creating fine art paintings. The process combines innovative techniques with meticulous craftsmanship, making artwork rich in texture, dimension, and visual appeal.

The Process:

1. Initial Painting on Thin Paper:
   The process begins with the artist painting on thin paper, allowing free-flowing creativity and dynamic expressions. Thin paper is ideal for layering colors and forms with spontaneity and precision.
2. Mounting on a Backing Board:
   Once the painting is complete, it is carefully mounted onto a sturdy backing board. This step provides stability and prepares the piece for the next transformative stage.
3. Burnishing the Surface:
   MacDonald then hand burnishes a faint abstract 3D design directly into the surface of the painting. This intricate process enhances the texture and introduces subtle dimensionality, adding depth and a tactile quality to the work. The burnishing creates a harmonious interplay between the painted imagery and the physical structure of the surface.
4. Coating with Sealer and Varnish:
   The final stage involves sealing the artwork with a protective coating and varnish. This step preserves the painting for years to come and amplifies its visual impact. Depending on the chosen varnish, the finish can be matte, semi-gloss, or gloss, enhancing the artwork’s dimensional qualities.

This versatile process showcases MacDonald’s innovative approach to fine art. By expanding its application to other styles beyond abstraction, MacDonald aims to explore further the interplay between texture, dimension, and artistic expression, creating a groundbreaking new chapter in contemporary art.
