Big Shiny New Paintings

Darcy Schmidt
at Artguise, Ottawa, 2001

all works © 2001, acrylic on canvas
This acrylic work on canvas incorporates vivid colour, texture and abstraction. Through the layering of high gloss transparent glazes over opaque elements, the paintings appear to luminesce from within. The works are based on pond fishes and they are assembled in diptychs, triptychs and the like, hence the title of the series, "Fishtychs".
