"THE CHAIR AFFAIR ALA GOYA AND BOSCH"
During a visit to the Metropolitan Museum, April Kline became interested in Indian and Middle Eastern miniatures. She began painting very small, detailed images on sheaths she had made for her Tai Chi sword. Eventually April moved on to painting larger canvases and images, but size hasn’t mattered. Although the style and stories vary widely, her paintings remain amusing, imaginative, ambiguous, and narrative in nature. Her colors are bright, rich and deep. April’s early work was featured on Oregon Art Beat in 2007.
April’s painting, “The Chair Affair a la Goya and Bosch,” depicts two snippits of great art works to reflect two overwhelming emotional realms. It is acrylic on a 24”x30” canvas, with framing by Karen Fox at “Art Heads” in Happy Valley. Note that acrylic paintings look their best and deepest when properly lit.
