GICLEE : Mermaid on a Seahorse

Description: Mermaid on a SeahorseGICLEE on Aquarelle paperartist: Christopher Carlo Limited Edition of 50Aquarelle Paper consists of 100% cotton fiber, is acid-free, and has a neutral pH.The paper is 140 lb (300 gsm) weight, and has an uneven textured surface.13.5"" x 16" (12" x 15" image)I was reading a coffee-table book (well, looking at pictures) of the Andrea Doria and there was a statue of a mermaid on a horse-headed seal. Unfortunately it was a rear view photo. I couldn't imagine that a photographer's eye would miss a front view of the work but he/she did. The subject of the photo was the staircase. I took the idea of the statue on the Andrea Doria and put in in 30 feet of water off the Cayman Island Coast. (I used to scuba dive there a lot) The thing about scuba diving is the filtering of colors the deeper you dive. Reds are the first color of the spectrum to fade out. The wavelets overhead are rainbow pastels and the depth of field is measured in darkness. About the artist: I have been trained by a family of artists and artisans. Three generations of art have been my heritage. My style has developed over time to be, I believe, recognizable as my own. My influences are color, faces, art circa 1933, movie palace decor and 1930's movie advertising art. I would, in particular, note influence by Art Deco muralist Charles Stafford Duncan (Paramount Theatre, Oakland CA) for his dramatic use of black and The Freed Unit at MGM for their dramatic use of Technicolor. Thus far, I am happy to have my paintings in private collections in Carlsbad CA, Benicia CA, Chicago IL, Denver CO, Raleigh NC and Nevis, West Indies. Check out my other items!
