Bridge to Nowhere, 40" x 40"

Acrylic on Canvas.

The sides of the canvas are painted grey and it arrives ready to hang.

“In this creation, there are various bridges and some are broken leading nowhere. I wanted to suggest that at this particular moment in time, we are where we need to be to absorb and learn in the situation and that no further action is needed. Only then, do we move forward. I've used many soothing shades of pastels to give the work a calming effect. Many shapes and textures have been applied to keep you fully engaged and ensure that you discover new elements each time you view the work.”

Loretta Kaltenhauser is an established, contemporary, award-winning Canadian artist. She creates works that are either abstract or have landscape elements to them. Using various brushes and palette knives, Loretta layers subtracts, and manipulates acrylic paint on canvas, to synthesize an intricate and distinct tableau. Colors and shapes take on an energy of their own and each subsequent layer of texture and color she adds reinterprets her thoughts and emotions. Loretta Kaltenhauser's works can be found in private collections in Canada, the United States, and the U.K.
