Description |
Abstract painting, bright red background with swirls of orange, pinks, and darker reds. Artist Becca Booker's work is known for its seamless transition between two and three dimensions. Her distinctively lustrous panel paintings are comprised of multiple layers of pigmented enamel and ink drawings, built up and embedded in nearly 100 layers of polyurethane. Frenetic, yet delicate lines swarm in various winding pathways articulated in rich color, invoking a sense of flowing movement seen in various natural formations such as biological atlas illustrations, animal flocking behavior, and fluid dynamics. |
