Ethereal sunflowers

Ethereal Sunflowers

Piece description from the artist

Simple sunflowers growing in the backyard, turning their faces up to the sun, but with a twist. Now they appear to be see-through. This simple photo of sunflowers takes on a whole different feel when the light and shadows are altered to create something that lets you see through the flowers and still see them as they blend with the background. The process of creating this work sometimes takes ages when you consider that the perfect sunflowers only appear now and then. It's as much waiting for them to be just right as creating the image.

About Christopher Grieder

Palm Springs, CA

Christopher ‘Kit’ Grieder lives in Palm Springs, CA, happily avoiding winter but seriously wondering if summer is now his enemy. Many years ago, he graduated from Metropolitan State University with a degree in Industrial Design and an avid interest in art and design. After several years of working at everything from advertising design to contract management, he set working life aside and became a free man, able to concentrate on growing things and creating art.

His love of everything green and growing informs his particular bent on his artistic sensibilities. Patterns, textures, light and shadow draw him in and pull the artistic ideas right out. He works in digital media, using photos to start the process that results in abstraction, as well as un-retouched photography and mixed media drawings. His goal for his work is that is fills the visual senses with patterns of color drawn from nature, that fill the brain with nature’s elements of art. When he’s not working on something creative, Christopher is either out puttering around the yard, or maybe drinking wine on the rooftop.
