Title: SiNTER!

Description:

Immerse yourself in the haunting depths of “SiNTER!,” a compelling mixed media artwork by Riley Vandervest, crafted in 2023. This piece, measuring 22.25 inches by 9.125 inches with a depth of 0.5 inches, is presented on wood, offering a unique texture that enhances its mysterious narrative.

“SiNTER!” delves into a monochromatic world where shades of black, grey, and subtle hints of white dominate the composition, creating an atmosphere that is both somber and enigmatic. The artwork features a swirling, almost vortex-like form that draws the eye towards a central, eye-like shape, suggesting a gaze from the abyss or an otherworldly entity observing through a veil. The use of mixed media on wood adds a tactile quality, with the grain of the wood subtly influencing the texture of the paint, giving the piece a raw, organic feel.

The title “SiNTER!” could imply a fusion of elements or a process of sintering, where materials bond under heat or pressure, metaphorically representing the merging of the visible and the invisible, or perhaps the intense pressure of existence. Vandervest’s technique here is fluid yet deliberate, with strokes that mimic the flow of dark, heavy substances, possibly evoking themes of decay, transformation, or the passage through time. The central eye-like form, surrounded by sweeping, tentacle-like lines, might suggest a watcher or guardian of some hidden realm, adding a layer of mystique and introspection.
