Ode to Cy Twombly Painting by Dr. Sam Lam

Ok, that is not the name for it but I don’t really have a name for this one.  It is however one of my favorite pieces, and it is inspired by the work of Twombly in which he creates chalkboard-like paintings.  I used a swirly charcoal gray acrylic as the background with a yellow border on the sides of the canvas. I then used oil pastels to create the chalky lines and the yellow and silver splotches.  Again, the presence of painterly handfeel and the rigidity of the geometric pattern is a repeated hallmark in my work.  I just love that combination!  I think I am going to steal this one for my condo!  Right now it is sitting upstairs in a vacant office.  Ouch!
