Light and Shadow
This is the first in a new series of weavings by Rick Minard. The artist had not created figurative paintings for many years and decided to return to his love of working with the figure. He had been been toying with the idea of focusing on the highlights and shadows for a while and this first weaving is the result.
In his own words:
In my newest endeavor, I decided to return to the figure as the centerpiece of my woven paintings but instead of exploring relationships as in my previous work, I wanted to explore the affect of light and shadows. The same figure is painted separately, with one the focus on highlights and the other on shadows. I am intrigued by the idea of taking the two opposing aspects of the same person and weaving them together to make a whole entity.
There are currently 18 paintings in this series.
Below are the two paintings he created first.
