Description
Mirage is an art work on acrylic on canvas using palette knife and drip technique. It depicts the passionate free movement of paint as it lands on the canvas and at the same time the movement is controlled to give subtle shape in the form of cherries. The horizon divides the canvas into the illusion and the unseen causing the mirage effect. The word derived from Latin mirari means to look at, to wonder at. The same effect is perceived here with the random patterns of paint which form one rapidly changing mirage. What the image appears to depict, however, is determined by the interpretive faculties of the human mind. For example, inferior forms and patterns are very easily mistaken for the reflections from a small waterbody through the hues projected on the superior portion of the horizon.
