"Spiritu" asks us what lives underneath our perceptions--of color, of light, of what seems to "be there", but as we move, our perception shifts. Richly layered with deep reds and muted yellow-greens, this painting is etched with gold leaf with shifts and lifts off the canvas as the viewer shifts the gaze from side to side. It is layered with geen-golds over reds and is oversized for contemporary placement.
