Red hotsell Abstract - Silkpainting

This is an original, hand-painted design on silk fabric. The silk is then wrapped around a canvas or foamboard for display. The silkpainting process can be very complex, and requires a careful layering of dyes and resist to create the image. The silk itself glows quite strikingly, especially in soft light or sunlight. This makes the colours especially vivid and rich.

ALL SILKPAINTINGS ARE COMPLETELY UNIQUE. There is no way to exactly reproduce a silkpainting. Even using the same outlines and colours will always result in a different appearance.

This silkpainting is an exploration of dye bleeding and colour mixing. By creating lines of resist in different shapes, I can obtain interesting interactions between the dye and the silk fabric. This design is an abstract contemplation of the way red interacts with darkness (black) and lightness (white).

Dimensions: 15.5''x15.5'', wrapped around a 3/4'' canvas. It also has mounting hardware pre-installed into the frame.

If desired, it is possible to install the canvas into a frame; however, it is more complicated to pull the silk fabric off of the canvas in order to re-mount the silk itself, so I do not recommend you try to do this yourself. If you have any questions about display, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Since this item is pre-framed and the silk is very delicate, packing and shipping is done very carefully to ensure proper treatment of the silk.

Note: do not hang in direct sunlight. The dye will slowly fade upon prolonged UV exposure. hotsell
