New Art, Feeling Safe
This Wednesday August 29th I have to go in to the hospital for surgery of an aneurysm. And while I am confident of the outcome it has left me feeling a bit strange in relation to my art. Over the past few weeks while I’ve been recuperating from the first part of the procedure which was to tie off an artery that was in the way I painted this piece.
It’s called Grandmas Couch (11 x 14) and it is an acrylic painting done over and under fiberglass mesh that is adhered to a board. It is part of a series I am doing which explores this medium. It also creates an emotional bond to a safe place in my past. Hopefully it creates a bond with the viewer.
Along the same emotional lines I created 2 Strappo pieces
This is called Red Table. It is part of the mono print series originating from a reverse painting on glass. Emotionally I remember it from a table at my mother’s house. Another safe place.
This one is called Yellow Wall and is also a Strappo mono print. Reminds me of my mother’s kitchen.
Both of these Strappos are less than 6 x 9 inches mounted on paper
If you are interested in seeing other Strappo pieces please go to my website donaldkolberg.com

Mesh Coated Surface Acrylic Painting
I have been experimenting with my painting surface as an extension of my steel mesh sculpture. Lately I have adhered fiberglass mesh, the kind used for screen doors, to wood panels. I prime the surface with gesso after adhering the the mesh and end up with a very different support.
This painting was inspired by shadows on the curtains in my kitchen.
This painting was inspired by the shadow across the kitchen table. It is aptly named Morning Coffee. It was recently on display at the Larimar Art Center in Palatka, Fl.
I have also done a number of landscapes in this style. I hope to have them displayed in this blog soon.
