About The Artwork

This painting is 74"H x 92"W and painted on a thick canvas with two pockets along the top and bottom. It can be hung by placing poles through the pockets and then fastening the poles to the wall. "ACROSS CONTINENTS" is part of my recent series of work "Across Continents”, some of the most important creatures in nature are the smallest, our pollinators! They mightily endure a long journey from one end of a single continent to another while foraging, raising young and pollinating a variety of plants and crops along the way. The purpose of "Across Continents” is to try and bring awareness to the fragmentation of ecosystems that pollinators across the globe are facing in a struggle for survival. The rapid decline of pollinator populations everywhere has become an imminent sign from nature, that we as humans must work together to save these keystone species, for the survival of all living things. I explore space and form by intertwining gestural marks and drawings with thick paint layers and subtle transparencies. My compositions draw inspiration from the idea that everything in nature is connected to everything else.

My work portrays my observations as an artist and a human being of the deep connection between plants and animals and the ecosystems in which they thrive. Each painting draws inspiration from the idea that everything in nature is connected to everything else. I explore space and form by intertwining gestural marks and drawings with thick layers of paint and subtle transparencies, leading to the intersection of abstraction and the natural world. During the painting process, I am mapping out the underlying paint layers, collage, and drawing mediums. While some of this process is predetermined, other aspects arrive organically through subtracting and adding, carving, and peeling away paper and paint to reveal earlier parts of the work. As I manipulate paint on the canvas, the compositions begin to encompass a journey through a multitude of layers that combine unconventional methods, gradually revealing a history of spatial interpretations as the final piece emerges. The resulting multi-layered abstract canvases serve as windows into natural landscapes and environments, with pollution and consumerism hanging at the edges. My works are metaphors for survival and hope. They attempt to elevate the viewer’s awareness of our involvement as human beings in our world’s case for eco-sustainability. Fran McNamara
