Word VII

Harkrader has created another restful composition within Word VII. A window looking into or out of the sky floats in the lower left as two fibers gently horizon their way across the horizontal land. An excavation of rock lies just below. In the center canvas resides a small vertical opening that exposes text, like some ancient word exposed by an archaeological excavation. A vein of granite or marble resides in the top left and another small window to the world just right. (30"x30" / mixed media) Available!

In Other Words...

In other words, there exist within this series, another 'Word', a canvas that has little to say and says it well. But that happens to be the point in the case. When there is less action and language within the composition, there will be more room to rest. This Harkrader canvas has a great deal of room to rest ones soul, thoughts, and eye. The top of the canvas has an aqua like window of color and composition in which one may look into or out of, as the case may be. Below this composition lies lots of room to rest within the neutral landscape which is intersected by two lazy horizontal fibers that may convey a horizon. Floating above the fiber resides this fossil-like shape in earthy color and an aqua-earth composition intersecting the fibers to the right. (24x30) Available

Get In On The ACTION!

This fast and sudden action resembles an expansion of earth with bolts of white lightning, clouds or ice caps exploding about the landscape that are charged with energy. This painting titled Silent Echo II is one of Harkrader’s paintings from his ‘Action’ series. According to the artist that after some observation noticed that the action panels seem to appeal to the masculine side of the sexes or to the Mars side (Mars VS. Venus). This canvas is 30” x 40” and is available. Get in on the action.

Floral Abstract Earth is Available

Floral Abstract Earth is complete and was photographed for the archives today. This painting is from the 'Corolla' series that follows the paintings recently sold & blogged in December and January posts. The size is 36"x48" and the medium is mixed. Three black fibers run vertically down the left and right side of the front plane. The palette colors are softer than earlier versions; earthly & less action which slows the canvas down in a restful manner. Areas around the yellow floral are extremely deep with medium giving this and the entire canvas an exceptionally 3D quality when viewed close up. The canvas has been in progress for about 6 weeks.
