About The Artwork

This bright, vibrant and playful gouache and crayon composition on cradled board features a riot of colors and creatures and odd facts about swans. It is actually called "Mostly True Thoughts About Swans" and features two mostly true thoughts on the delightful delft blue and white vase. The vase also features a design of lions, tigers, and bears surrounded by flowers ib blue, white and gold. The swan facts read "The queen owns all unmarked mute swans on open water in the United Kingdom" and "all USSR TV channels once showed Swan Lake for 3 straight days." The painting features a large prayer plant in various shades of green and pink growing blissfully from its strange pot, resting upon a distinctly Matisse inspired tablecloth with brightly colored cutouts and majestically floating swans against a watery dark blue background. The background of the piece is a delightfully textured orange, red and pink display featuring deep brush strokes. I will be spraying these pieces with varnish to protect the surface from UV damage and chipping over the next week.

Lara Meintjes, also known as Agnes, is a South African artist, happily living in Oakland, California. She is particularly interested in arrangements of color, and the effects of each color's presence on the others within a composition. She also really likes flowers and awkward ceramic objects. Lara is fascinated by the dividing line between fact and fantasy, and the lingering imprint of childhood on our adult lives. She likes to play in the negative space between objects.
