On ViewExhibition

A mixed media drawing of acrylic medium and gold pigment on plexi-glass depicts two male figures with arms raised above their heads as if holding a long pieces of wood together. Instead their hands are holding white lines. A series of white lines or bands intersects in the center of the composition, making an abstracted, building like construction. In the background is a textural wash, similar to peeling paint with a water color like effect in the bottom third of the composition. The drawing has a monochromatic, sepia tone. — Raul Rene Gonzalez
