Cello Surfing

36" x 48" x 1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

While conceptualizing this piece, the prominent black and white curves started to resemble a musical instrument, specifically a cello, which ultimately inspired the title. The title is a deliberate play on words, evoking the notion of rapidly scrolling through television channels. To accentuate the cello's silhouette, I made an intentional effort to employ vibrant, warm colors primarily on the exaggerated instrument, while utilizing subdued, cool colors in the moody background, thereby achieving a harmonious juxtaposition.
