The piece done here was a personal piece created for a show about the use of text in art. The text I chose was a chemical formula (C18H19NOS), which was painted in acrylic in the shape of a binturong, then the animal itself was painted over top with light ink washes. The canvas used was a recycled canvas of some freshman still life that had been discarded, over which I created a light blue field. bright orange of the original painting still shows through in some places.
The actual concept is very personal and I will not go into detail here but if you are interested we can have a discussion through email or IM.
The angular contour of the figure is an interesting (subtle) contrast to the circular animal. Very interesting composition.
