About the Item

This framed 40" x 30" x 1" pigment and graphite on canvas by Oklahoma-based artist Mark Gilmore depicts a woman, fully naked with her arms extended as though she is attempting to fly. The work is distorted, blurred and dreamlike. The backdrop is clear, with a backdrop of reds, black and other dark tones reminiscent of the artist's background in graphic design. A turquoise rectangular box frames the torso of the figure. The work is framed in a simplistic wooden frame, measuring 42" x 32" x 1 in total. The work is signed in the bottom right corner as well as on the back stretcher bar, next to the title. "I have been active in telling stories with images for over 45 years. I learned a lot about color, composition and story telling by stripping all sentimentality from these elements and using them for more than 25 years as a designer. My work has always been about expressing the otherness and mystery just underneath everyday life, a reaction to the ephemeral nature of life and mortality." -- Mark Gilmore
