Acrylic on canvas

“Evening After Hours” is a painting, using acrylic on canvas, to depict a wine bottle and glassware being illuminated by light spilling onto a table from a window. Shadows become long when the sun sits low on the horizon, representative of the late evening coupled with the desire for rest and vice after a majority of the day has been spent."

Artist Statement:

"The first works of art by humankind were made with nature in mind, ancient hominids who imitated the patterns they saw in each other and their environment in the barest. I rarely spend time in nature, most of my life has been spent within the city. Cities are brutalist environments that have their own distinct beauty, but the disconnect is why I find myself fascinated by the non-synthetic; natural processes of which this world operates on. In my work, using various methods of creation in the visual arts, whether it is painting or sculpting, and intertwining that with the sciences, I aim to recognize the wonderful and the grotesque of both natural and unnatural worlds."
