Hide And Seek
Edition Size: 75
11 x 14 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 330gsm Fine Art Paper
"This piece was created for a show called Incognito: A show of disguise, which was in October of 2012 . The original sketch is graphite on bristol paper, and then painting is acrylic on wood. I paint in thin layers of light washes of color on gessoed wood gradually building up layers until I achieve the desired look. The final painting is also coated in a satin varnish.
I wanted to create a bit of a surrealistic piece for the show where it was unclear whether or not the girl had eyes tattooed on her hands or her hands were actually transparent. It was kind of a throwback to the days of playing hide and seek as a child and trying to sneak a peek through your hands to see where your friends were hiding." - Glenn Arthur
