“The Helmet Maker’s Wife” is inspired by Auguste Rodin's sculpture of the same name. It depicts the female form’s advanced age in a metallic color scheme reflective of the title. The contrasting textures are achieved through gently blended acrylics layered with raw and vibrant conte crayon. The overlapping images are indicative of repetitive motion and life patterns over time.
This painting on delicate canvas paper was created by overlapping images from the sculpture. Original (12 W x 18 H in) is available. Prints of different sizes are also available HERE in excellent quality that accurately reflects the vibrancy of the original colors.
