Product description
Overview
An original mixed media portrait of a young woman, built from paint, collage and found materials and cut to an irregular shape. Her face fills the piece, turned slightly aside with a quiet half smile, worked in layered blues, reds, browns and ochre over printed paper and newspaper. Her hair is raised in thick black strands tied back with a silver band, and a silver collar frames her neck, all set on torn brown cardboard so the edges become part of the work. It is a study of reflection, resilience and the return of light. An original South African work by Gary Frier. Acrylic paint, collage paper, newspaper, cardboard, textured paper and found materials, 68 x 70 cm.
