Item Description
Oil on canvas mounted to panel, framed 24" x 33" panel size
Courtenay James: Representational painting can be more than just the reproduction of contours. I strive to create the illusion of three-dimensional space formed by light and color and the interpretation of a unique moment that lives on the painted surface. My images seek out the abstract details hidden in commonplace subjects, inviting a fresh examination. My technique draws on centuries of European oil painting. First a monochromatic underpainting establishes composition, form and value. Over this base, layers of transparent and opaque color glazes build depth and luminosity. Spatial relationships are manipulated by changes in the quality of edges, the contrast of cool colors and warm, and variation in surface texture.
