Gateway is a 31.5" x 31.5" mixed media painting by David Graff, created on panel that invites you into a serene, abstracted landscape.
The painting, awash in cool greys and blues, reveals nuanced shifts in colour depending on the light and the angle it's viewed from. The artist achieves this dynamic quality by incorporating metallic elements and resin, which impart a sense of depth and a luminescent quality. Graff's method includes layering metallic/gilding elements such as silver leaf with transparent colour glazes and a high-sheen acrylic resin. The resin enhances the artwork's reflective qualities below, allowing colours and details to emerge as the viewer changes position vividly. A central path, bordered by shadowed trees and a richly textured sky, invites introspection and draws the observer into the imagined world of Graff's creation.
Viewing and Photography Note:
Gateway is finished in a high-gloss acrylic resin that reflects and captures light, which is by design. It also can reflect nearby objects within the room it hangs, including our camera, when photographing the artwork. This reflective characteristic means that capturing the painting accurately in a photo is challenging; the shifting colours are most effectively appreciated firsthand. We recommend clients visit the gallery to experience the effects of Graff's work in person. Remote viewings via Zoom, Teams, and FaceTime are available upon request.
