Title: “iTSUNAMi!”
Description:
Experience the raw power of nature with “iTSUNAMi!,” a dramatic mixed media artwork by artist Riley Vandervest, created in 2021. This piece, measuring 24 inches by 36 inches with a depth of 0.5 inches, is presented on canvas, encapsulating the overwhelming force of a tsunami.
“iTSUNAMi!” captures the essence of a tsunami through an abstract lens, with swirling, dynamic strokes of black and grey dominating the canvas. The composition suggests the immense, curling wave of a tsunami, with the darker shades representing the depth of the ocean and the lighter areas the frothy, turbulent surface. The use of mixed media adds texture, with layers of paint and perhaps other materials giving the piece a sense of movement and the chaotic energy of water in motion.
The title “iTSUNAMi!” plays on the word ‘tsunami,’ infusing the piece with a sense of immediacy and impact. Riley Vandervest’s technique involves creating a sense of depth and motion, with the paint appearing to cascade across the canvas, much like water would in a real tsunami. The artwork not only portrays the visual spectacle of a tsunami but also the awe and respect one feels in the presence of such natural phenomena.
