John Moulton Jr. Abstract Reverse Oil Painting Art Star
This original oil painting was created in a very unique way. The artist, John Moulton Jr., painted silver stars and deep purple shapes on one side of acrylic plastic in reverse order, as if he were painting in a mirror. The front of the painting thus shows a reverse image of Moulton's artistic process. No brushmarks can be seen, since he painted in a clean and meticulous manner. As a result, the viewer can imagine the endless depths of outer space coupled with a powerful, balanced composition made up of sleek, minimal 3D forms which seem to pop out of the frame as they rise up from the surface. According to the artist, this is an image of a machine that makes stars!Artist: John Moulton, Jr. Title: "Blueprint for Machine that makes Stars and Planets" Medium: Enamel on clear acrylic plexiglass, painted on one side Date: 1990 Image size: 32 ¼ by 51 ½ inches Framed Image Size: 43 by 62 ½ inches Silver metallic border: 4 inches wide Image Condition: Excellent Frame Condition: Very Good - metal Lucite covering on frame is loose on UR corner Signed by artist, etched into the plexiglass, LR corner Certificate of Authenticity issued by Midwest Estate Buyers The large scale and dynamic graphics in this work of art contribute to its uniqueness.
