Chisako (Joel Rosen). 2017 to 2021 permuted tricolor ground version
2021 (ground from 2013)
acrylic on canvas board
8 x 6 inches
with the 2021 passing of my old friend Ken Aiken (Joel Rosen) I returned to his drawing which I first quoted in a 1991 painting, "Essay: Joel Rosen". the ground dates from 2017 and was a test for a composition idea; I reclaimed the dormant study as a completed work of art in painting in this trompe l'oeil after a photocopy of an ink drawing by Joel Rosen (the drawing dates to the later 1980s)
In a private collection.
