WiL Vélez, Andesine Liths, 2023.

mixed media (acrylic and ink) on paper (90 lb/250 gsm)

7 x 7 in (17.78 x 17.78 cm)

"Andesine Liths" (2023) was the first of its kind by the artist to feature wood stains as primary medium. This scene represents a distant landscape seen in a dream, a "dreamscape" of unusual rock formations. The work takes its name from the andesine jewel like tonality of the surreal monoliths in their staggered arrangement, peaking high above clouds. Long vertical strokes by palette knife take on silhouettes of eerie spires towering above ruins. In this work, the artist has attempted to capture the dynamic morphing of images one experiences in dreams.

This painting includes a 12 x 12 in. (30.48 x 30.48 cm) acid-free 4 ply (1/16") mat board in cream linen with 6.5 x 6.5" square cutout and 45-degree white core beveled edge, a 12 x 12" clear acrylic pane (3/32" depth) with non-glare glazing and OP-3 UV filtering, a 1 1/8 in. (2.857 cm) profile wood frame in gold with 12 x 12" opening and overall dimensions of 13 7/8 x 13 7/8 in. (35.24 x 35.24 cm)
