Supplementally Incited

Size: 30" x 40" x 1.5" - HUGE!
Medium: Acrylic
Surface: Canvas
Style: Abstract
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle

This painting is aesthetically inspired by my keen interest in the folk arts of Mexico and India, particularly in the intensity of their color palettes and their detailed patterns. This painting combines my love for tribal art with a contemporary urban aesthetic resulting in a fresh, vibrant abstract style that expresses the complexity and multiplicity of modern life through a youthful and jubilant perspective. Through the frenetic juxtaposition and overlap of colors and patterns, I create a sense of energy and exuberance on the surface that immediately transforms the atmosphere of any room into one of exotic festivity. This painting may be hung with any side facing up! The 1.5" thick edges of this painting are painted black, making this painting ready to hang directly onto the wall without a frame.

She

Size: 18" x 24" x .75"
Medium: Acrylic
Surface: Canvas
Style: Pop Expressionism
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle
This is a highly textured painting that depicts a blonde woman with enormous violet-sienna eyes. Her gaze and expression are deliberately ambiguous so that viewers can read their own meanings into it. I created her portrait using a nonconventional color palette to capture her form, giving the piece an expressive mystique.

Size: 8" x 10" x 1.5"

Medium: Acrylic

Surface: Canvas

Style: Abstract

Artist: Thaneeya McArdle

This highly charged painting vibrates with color and detail.My abstract paintings are very process-oriented. Whileworking on paintings that are this detailed and colorful, Ibecome so immersed in the work that applying paint becomes a meditative process through which I strive toachieve balance amidst chaos. The colors and designsarise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal andaboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling throughnonrepresentational means. The painting wraps around to all four edges of the canvas, making this truly a 3-D work of art.

This painting is SOLD.

Ice Maiden

Size: 18" x 24" x 1.5"
Medium: Acrylic
Surface: Canvas
Style: Abstract
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle

This portrait is the latest painting in my Self-Portraits of Sorts series, in which I use my own face as a model or starting point for portraits which evolve into various characters. Usually these quirky portraits don't really look like me nor are they intended to - but this one looks more like me than the others, and is more autobiographical. This portrait shows a close-up of my face, which was done in a colorful expressionistic manner on a textured surface. I used blue to form the main shadows and surrounded the face in white in order to portray a sense of coldness. At the time of painting this in late November, I had just returned to Florida after spending 6 months in England. Being a Florida girl, I wasn't used to the biting English winter, so as the temperature dipped I felt constantly frozen. Needless to say I was grateful to return to the sunny and warm Florida "winter"! This portrait depicts my feeling of being trapped in inescapable coldness. I used warm hues to further model the face, and made the lips a dark plum to symbolize inner warmth prevailing over outer conditions.
