Hello, my name is Ian Hartley. I am new to the residency program, and I’m excited to share my work. Crimson/Blue was created with the idea of trying to creating something with dark colors. At the time I was thinking of shapes such as work by Mark Rothko, and I wanted to exhibit feelings through the use of both shapes and colors.

Dear Ian, so glad to see your works!
I like the chilly and autumn mood… I see speed and dynamics, wind, and – a standing in night room monitor turned on but muted.
You can get to know with the project of our resident Tiberio De la Garza – follow the link https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjzq7gFtlG/
But Tiberio’s art is more on a religious theme: about the faith of a person and the display of stories in a new form. Is the spiritual interpretation near for the canvases’ series? If I understand the title correctly, we can talk rather about formalists tradition, can we?
Is it oil on canvas by the way, am I right? What is its size?
Hi Nazar,
Thank you for the comment and the link to Tiberio De la Garza. The painting Crimson/Blue is 12×16 with oil paint. I would say Crimson/Blue would be more of a spiritual interpretation, such as being able to use colors to strike emotion, and I would be interested in discussing formalists tradition. I appreciate your time looking at my work.
You are welcome and thank you for your feedback!
You mean the colors you used are insufficient “to strike emotions”, so, the image is less spiritual, right?
