Description
"Interlude", oil, 36x24", 2020 by David Tanner
Complex figurative compositions are my first love, so this is a painting I'm enthusiastic to introduce. Cameron is an artist friend who lives in my town, Richmond, Virginia. He's an abstract painter who is also a very talented musician. This painting was inspired by watching and listening to him play his trumpet while I was visiting his studio. I did some oil sketching on location.
My impression was "Jackson Pollack Meets Chet Baker", the two 1950's cultural icons. The jazz trumpet player and singer Chet Baker, and the abstract painter Jackson Pollack, as if their spirits somehow intertwined in this contemporary artist's melding of painting and music.
