Brendan Monroe acrylic and collage on paper. "Familiar Greens", signed and dated. Original frame.
Image size 12 1/2" x 12 1/4". Frame size 15" x 15".
Layers of paper are used in this work. There is a ground paper (main support paper) and then a piece of what looks like tracing paper applied to the ground paper with drawing and painting both behind it and on top of it. The final layer is a thicker translucent paper that looks like vellum. This vellum is applied only to the areas of the image that make up the water with again what looks like painting on the backside and front. These translucent layers create an interesting depth and murkiness. Brendan used this technique of layering translucent paper on at least a few paintings dating from this period. It's a potent touch.
Make an offer if you are interested. I'm happy to answer questions. The painting is located in the USA. Will ship domestically and internationally.
