red

Matt Kaplinsky - National Garden Red, December 2005
mixed media, variable 48 x 96 inches

Someone I know had been mentioning red frequently, and when I returned from a trip to the National Garden in D.C., I promptly began an interpretation of the gardens in red. This works is the first of a series in other color variations. The size is variable due to the movable plates of color hanging on the front which can be mounted in lots of different locations, including off the canvas entirely on the wall nearby.

 

 

striations

Matt Kaplinsky - Garden Incarnation #104, August 2005
various paints, mostly acrylic; 48 x 96 inches

Gardening is one of the most enjoyable activities I know, and a common subject matter in my work. This piece was one view within my own yard last year, and is mounted on a support frame to appear frameless and float just off the wall surface.

angled back to show warp

Also on a recent trip to Wahington D.C., I toured Arlington Memorial Cemetary. It was truly amazing to see the 60,000 graves of men and women who died with the thought in thier minds that they are preserving our peace, and our rights as outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights our founding fathers established.
