Piece description from the artist
A split second of lighting allowed this image to be created. A palm tree in Palm Springs, CA was lit just right at night, and then just before the lights were going to be turned off and the area change its feel, I got the shot. The image is now an abstract of color, shape and form, with a slight nod to a mouth (picture it in red hues) but still evoking the piece of palm tree that presented itself. The beautiful multi layer aspect of this image gives it a feeling of great depth beyond the initial visual impact. I like to think of it as a balance between the deep blue overhead and the sandy earth below, like predawn lighting in the desert.
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.
