About the Item
Please contact me with zip code for best shipping rates and timely delivery. This is a large, vertical acrylic painting of an imaginary, dream-like surrealist landscape with naturalistic flowers and abstract ocean references. Blues predominate. It is signed along lower edge, and framed in a wooden floater frame with antique gold tone finish. Measures approximately 63" x 18" framed to 68" x 22". It is half of a 2-part diptych and would hang beautifully as a pair. Each panel sold separately, but I will combine shipping for both pieces. Excellent delivery rates within the Greater Philadelphia area.
PROVENANCE: Exhibited in "Portals + Revelations: Richard J. Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022.
"Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson
