The artist used deep red and bright white acrylic paint and bronze figures to compose this artwork. This artwork combines vivid color, dynamic movement, and sculptural elements to create a visually captivating and playful piece. This one-of-a-kind sculptural mixed-media painting on wood measures a total of 33 inches tall by 24 inches wide by 3 inches deep, including the bronze figures. The string representing the rope extends about 2 inches past the painting on the bottom (not included in the stated size of the artwork). Painted on a 30-inch tall by 24-inch wide wood panel, the background area is dominated by raised white dots on a deep red background.
Adding a unique sculptural dimension, a small bronze figurative sculpture about 3 inches tall is thoughtfully secured to the top of the artwork, and another bronze figurative sculpture is attached to the front of the panel. The bronze figures create the narrative of a painter on top of a mural securely holding a rope, securing a second painter on the wall who is working to complete an intricate mural consisting of varying sizes of paint dots.
