Turquoise Assemblage Print

Using charcoal to define not only the contours but also the areas of negative space between the forms, artist Kari Taylor gives expressive shape to seaside rock formations. Washes of acrylic paint in a wide range of ocean blues suggests the ways in which water interacts with the rocks in a perpetual show of reflected color. The clarity of color and line seen in the original composition are beautifully captured as a giclée print on American-made canvas treated with an embellished gel coating to seal the print while simulating the look and feel of the Original Art by UGallery. A simple matte black wood frame adds definition. Kari Taylor marries simplicity of form with graceful movement, a style honed by her early training as a printmaker. Currently favoring the brilliant color andquick-drying nature of acrylics, Taylor draws inspiration from the dynamic seashore or the expansive desert sky of Arizona, where she makes her home in Phoenix.
