Andrew Gray"Colored Floater" - Original Acrylic Painting Featuring a Male Figure2024
2024
About the Item
Andrew Gray's "Colored Floater, 2024" is a compelling acrylic on canvas that conveys the dynamism of the human form intertwined with the fluidity of water. Measuring 40 x 40 inches within a sleek thin white frame that extends to 41 x 41 inches, the artwork presents a strong visual statement. This piece is distinguished by its crisp and deliberate brushwork, which contrasts profoundly against the serene blue background, suggestive of both the depth of water and sky.
Gray's unique approach to the representation of the figure and the aquatic medium resonates with the viewer, creating an engaging narrative about interaction and buoyancy. The use of a vibrant palette highlights the figure's emergence from the water, an embodiment of grace and power. Priced at a premium, "Colored Floater, 2024" is an original and thoughtful addition to any collection, reflecting the essence of Andrew Gray's thematic exploration of water as both a medium and a milieu.
Artist Statement for the "Currents of Color" Series:
While I typically center my artistic practice around the figure, I embrace water as both subject and medium. As I delved into this series, I began to question my choice of swimming as a narrative. Pools and the environments where bodies are interacting with water are very unfamiliar with me and sparked a genuine interest.
Through my art, I sought to insert myself into these aquatic environments, infusing them with the presence of black figures. As a creative, I found the joy in devising various methods to portray both water and the presence of a people, even if their bodies are not visually present in the painting. While acknowledging the weight of historical stereotypes and racism surrounding black bodies and water, I intentionally aimed for a sense of lightness in these paintings, inviting viewers to a mundane moment in time.
Employing unconventional tools such as large squidgy implements and dampened paper towels, I sculpted layers of paint to evoke the serene calmness of placid waters or the turbulent energy of rushing currents. My series, 'Currents of Color,' is an exploration of water in its myriad forms: from thick to thin, stillness to motion, indoors to outdoors, and the interplay of figures within, around, or submerged beneath its surface. - Andrew Gray
