Description |
1 of 61 in Progressive Proof Series Wayne Kimball (1943) is a printmaker and professor of the fine arts. Kimball's artworks are all done using the lithograph printing process due to the media's intense color combinations, wash-like textures, and crayon tones. His art is small in size allowing him to work more intimately with his pieces and include intricate details, some with symbolic meaning. Kimball's artworks are meant to be seen with the viewer in mind and thus are devoid of concrete ideas, focusing more on conceptual thought. He leaves his work open-ended so that the viewer can interpret the meaning behind the work themselves. His work is influenced by Northern Renaissance paintings, Islamic and Indian structures, and Medieval imagery. This print is a work in progress piece done with faint lines and textures. A section of a room is shown with a variety of objects scattered around. The outline of a chair sits beside a set of fire pokers. One of the pokers has a man's head skewered on top of it while the other is bare. A leaf-like plant is behind the fire pokers and the chair. Two rugs are underneath the fire pokers, one on top of the other. The first rug is a simple rectangle rug with a funky pattern on it while the other rug is that of a skinned tiger. The room's corners are defined within the space by faint lines creating a sense of depth within the print. The floor appears to be a simple hardwood floor. |
