Prismatic Grid | Original Mixed-Media Painting

Snakeskin, stained glass, and a game of pick-up sticks.

Prismatic Grid is a lively, graphic abstract painting built on a pale ground. Soft squares and rectangles of sprayed color are tilted and stacked across the canvas in earth brown, brick red, dusty indigo, and warm yellow, with small gaps of bare white showing between them like light through a window. Over the sprayed color, a fine scale-like stencil of tiny overlapping ovals gives every patch a texture like snakeskin, mesh, or the weave of a net. Some of the scales are brown, some red, some blue-gray, so the pattern shifts as your eye moves.

Across it all, flat bands of color cut at sharp diagonals. A bright leaf green runs from the top toward the lower right and swings across the middle. Marigold-orange stripes slice through at other angles, and soft, translucent pink bands let the scale pattern show through beneath. They look like strips of tinted tape laid over the painting.

Last, thin white lines fan out across the whole surface in every direction. They cross the colored bands and meet in sharp points, like cracks in glass, rays of light, or the strings of a loom. The canvas weave shows through the paint, so even the flat stripes feel soft and tactile.

The painting plays organic against geometric, soft against crisp, and muted earth tones against a few bright accents. It is busy but organized, and the longer you look, the more layers show themselves.

At 20" × 16", it is a good fit for an office, a studio, a bedroom, or a gallery wall, and its pops of green, pink, and gold lift a room without overwhelming it.

For collectors who love layered, pattern-rich abstraction with a street-art edge.
