Title: “DARKNESS FALLZ!”
Description:
Enter the realm of contrast and contemplation with “DARKNESS FALLZ!,” a striking mixed media artwork by artist Riley Vandervest, created in 2020. This piece, measuring an expansive 48 inches by 24 inches with a depth of 1.5 inches, offers a profound visual experience that captures the essence of duality.
“DARKNESS FALLZ!” features a bold, vertical division of light and dark, where the stark black central panel contrasts sharply with the lighter, almost ethereal sides. This composition not only creates a visual tension but also symbolizes the balance between light and shadow, day and night, or perhaps good and evil. The texture, achieved through the use of mixed media, adds a layer of complexity, with the paint appearing to drip and flow, suggesting the passage of time or the fall of darkness over light.
The monochromatic palette, dominated by deep blacks and soft whites, draws the viewer into a meditative state, encouraging introspection on the themes of transition, change, and the cyclical nature of existence. Riley Vandervest’s technique in layering and blending different materials brings a tactile quality to the piece, enhancing its depth and making the transition between light and dark almost palpable.
