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. While
working on paintings that are this detailed and colorful, I
become so immersed in the work that applying paint
becomes a meditative process through which I strive to
achieve balance amidst chaos. The colors and designs
arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and
aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through
nonrepresentational means. The sides are painted black, making this painting ready to hang directly on a wall without a frame!.

Tranquilité Cosmique

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

This highly textured painting is part of my new Synchronal Variety series. These paintings combine decorative abstraction and meticulous photorealism in a contemporary wabi-sabi aesthetic. Wabi-sabi refers to the traditional Japanese aesthetic of appreciating things that are impermanent, imperfect, and incomplete. This ideal manifests itself in the abstract background of the piece, which is comprised of many textural layers, overlaid with delicate designs. The dark purple paint in the top section has a slight iridescent sheen, causing the pigment to subtly reflect light, depending on the lighting conditions. Two horses graze contentedly in this peaceful picture, as three hot air balloons float serenely in the sky above. The soft light blue resembles a calm clear sky and is adorned with an ethereal pattern of flowers and clovers. The colors and subject matter of this piece create a painting that is simultaneously festive and tranquil. The 1.5" thick edges of this painting are painted black, making this painting ready to hang directly onto the wall without a frame.

Wabi-sabi refers to the traditional Japanese aesthetic of appreciating things that are impermanent, imperfect, and incomplete. This ideal manifests itself in the abstract background of the piece, which is comprised of many textural layers. The very top section has a very tactile, visceral quality formed by layers of paint and tiny glass beads (see a close-up below). A reflective silver design ornaments the bottom section, which has a rough dark maroon texture. Dominating the painting is a San Salvador rock iguana found only (legally) in the Bahamas.

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.

Piscean Query, pt.1

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

A golden koi fish swims through the universe, at one with the meaning of life. The background of this painting was done in my usual funky abstract style, and for a twist I added a scene of existential query over top. The sentence "consumed by the beauty and mystery of a world gone berserk" is ambiguous enough to allow free association. A fish swimming through outer space serves as one visual example of a world gone berserk. Ultimately it's up to the viewer to determine what meaning they find in this piece. There is some texture in this painting, as you can see in the close-ups below. The 1.5" thick edges of this painting are painted black, making this painting ready to hang directly onto the wall without a frame.

This piece falls into my Composite Realism category, because it draws on a number of artistic styles and aesthetic sensibilities. My Composite Realism paintings are works that combine disparate elements in unexpected ways in order to offer a new way of looking at the world. This painting draws heavily from my abstract style. My abstract paintings are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. My abstract art is heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal.

Rejoicing Quietus

Rejoicing Quietus

Size: 8" x 10"
Medium: Archival Giclee Print using UV pigmented inks
Surface: White, cotton canvas with a primed satin finish
Style: Abstract
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle

This is a highly-detailed, vibrantly colored piece inspired by Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. I combined the simplified black outline of a skull with my usual funky abstract style to create an artwork that is vivid, boisterous, and jubilant. I like the paradoxical juxtaposition of the classic image of death and mortality - the skull - portrayed amidst colorful abstract forms and intricate designs, which express the fullness and joy of life.
This auction is for a professionally printed giclee produced from one of my drawings. The print is made with UV pigmented inks that are lightfast and durable, rated to last 150-200 years. The artwork is printed on white, cotton canvas with a primed satin finish. There is a 1" border around all four edges of the artwork, allowing for easy matting and framing.

Style: Abstract
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle

This whimsical abstract painting overflows with wiggling, funky designs. The designs were painted in a stream-of-consciousness manner. They are reminiscent of plankton or protozoa; tiny things that you might see under a microscope. The designs were carefully painted and the amount of detail in this piece made the execution very time-consuming, so rest assured that at this opening bid, you will definitely be getting your money's worth and then some. The entire surface of this painting has a unique texture comprised of a mixture of ceramic stucco and light modeling paste. The sides of the canvas are painted to complement the frame, so that no frame is needed. This is truly a 3-dimensional work of art!
