The artist used acrylic paint, string, an aluminum figure, and bucket to create this artwork. This one-of-a-kind sculptural mixed-media painting on wood measures a total of 30.5 inches tall by 40 inches wide by 3 inches deep, including depth of the figure and the nail anchored on top of the artwork. The string hangs an additional 3.5 inches below the artwork. Painted on a 30-inch tall by 40-inch wide wood panel, this artwork combines vivid color, dynamic movement, and sculptural elements to create a visually captivating and playful piece.
Adding a unique sculptural dimension, a small aluminum figurative sculpture is thoughtfully secured to the front of the artwork. The aluminum figure creates the narrative of a painter securely holding a rope, working to complete an intricate mural consisting of varying sizes of paint dots.
