Magenta, teal, yellow, and blue in shapes that look exactly like torn tissue paper: translucent at the edges, layered where they overlap, the white ground showing through everywhere. No tissue paper was used. High fluid acrylic and pouring medium, applied with a silicone wedge, created the illusion entirely on their own.
The title asks the question the painting answers visually: what we take to be solid is mostly light and color, and the whole thing is more fragile than we'd like to believe.
24” x 36” acrylic on canvas. Framed in a walnut floating frame. Framed size is 25” x 36” x 1.5” Wired and ready to hang.
