Richard A. Carlson (Contemporary American artist) acrylic painting on board, Flame Myth, Veils, Red, 2003. Signed lower right. Additionally signed, titled, dated and inscribed on the back. A paper label showing detailed information on the back. Richard A. Carlson is a contemporary, award winning abstract painter who studied with internationally known artist Michael Kessler at the Baum Art School in Allentown, PA. There he learned the unique process of layering skim coats of transparent acrylic across a relief of gesso textures. The result is a luminous surface, rich with an illusion of depth that fools the eye. Viewers sometimes mistake the process for a photographic technique, a Cibachrome or Polaroid transfer - but it is basically a building up of multiple paint layers. One of a kind artwork.
