Collages from painted spirals.

January 30, 2019 By Mike Lyon

In late January of 2019 I produced several works collaged from painted spirals.

Arnolfini Marriage – paintings

January 23, 2019 By Mike Lyon

January 22 and 23, 2019 I made two paintings, both highly abstracted renditions of Van Eyck’s portrait of Arnolfini. The source image and the two paintings are shown below:

Sinjun – painting – 44 x 30 inches

January 17, 2019 By Mike Lyon

In this painting, the portrait of Sinjun in red paint on an intense blue ground is entirely lost in the very coarse layers of red spirals. The border, the diamonds, the red rectangle – all are so interesting to me as well as the deep vibration between the blue and red lines.

Linda in Black – painting – 42 x 30 inches

Up close, there’s a pretty spectacular spectrum of brilliance. Red, yellow, blue, black, white painted on paper over a gray acrylic ground. I’m pretty attracted to all aspects […]

Self portrait – another more or less failed effort to attain a naturalistic color. Still playing with the scale and interplay of the spiral layers.

January 11, 2019 By Mike Lyon

Sinjun – painting – 42 x 30 inches

January 8, 2019 By Mike Lyon

Another attempt to realize naturalistic color. Red, yellow, blue, black, white on gray ground. Hmmm. Not very naturalistic.
