Through the Looking Glass, 36" x 36"

Acrylic on Canvas.

"In this series I begin with adding multiple shapes and shades of acrylic, then methodically taking away sections , adding back, etc. until the final creation emerges. I never know what these pieces will look like until they are completed and the challenge is creating something unique and using my imagination to fulfill that goal. The canvas is painted a deep rich grey on the sides and is 1.5 inches in depth which means you do not need a frame for displaying purposes."
-Loretta

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. Colours and shapes take on an energy of their own and each subsequent layer of texture and colour 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.
