TeXTUReS
by Shawn Christopher
"Textures" is a collection of 3-d paintings on wood. The use of color and texture
enlivens the imagination to an array of possibilities. While the deeper tones may get
lost in the background under normal circumstances, Shawn pushes these colors to the
forefront, so that they are the first to be noticed.
This project challenges the boundaries of painting versus sculpture, for the two
schools of thought have merged within the same tangent. These pieces were each
painted individually, then arranged by color, shape, and depth. Not to be boxed in
by a square frame, the color, shape, and shadow of these pieces give the illusion
that they are floating in midair and jumping off the wall.
