Abstract Figures in Landscape, Oil Painting #37
Abstract Figures in Landscape #37 is an original two-canvas oil painting by Laurie Rubell that combines abstract expression with subtle figurative imagery.
The two canvases were created to hang together as one composition, although they may also be displayed separately. I create two-canvas paintings because exploring the inside and outside of the edges is an important part of my work. Color, line, and space move across the canvases, connecting the individual panels into a larger composition.
I work directly on the canvas without preliminary sketches, allowing the painting to change and develop as I work. This piece began with washes of dark blue oil color on the blank canvases. I turned the top canvas during the painting process, allowing the color to drip and become part of the developing composition.
From there, I gradually built the painting with thin layers of oil color and thousands of brushstrokes. An abstract figure appears within the landscape, lifted by a loop of light and surrounded by shifting areas of color and movement.
The painting took approximately three months to complete. I used more than 50 different styles of artist brushes and more than 100 tubes of oil paint throughout the process. I also stretch my own canvases over wood frames rather than working on store-bought canvas.
With every brushstroke, I think about beginnings and endings and the moment that exists between them.
Abstract Figures in Landscape #37 is a one-of-a-kind original oil painting. I do not create copies, prints, or limited editions of my paintings.
