ALEXIS KANDRA, The Canopy, oil and metal foil on wood panel, 36" X 48", 2016
This painting features a family of macaws. A scarlet macaw, a blue and gold macaw, and their hybrid offspring. The snake is an emerald tree boa, strangely uninterested in the parrots.
As with other recent paintings, I have inverted the colors outside of the circular portal. I imagine that when the creatures are in that inverted space, everything looks normal to them.
To test that the inversion is working, I will periodically photograph the painting in progress and invert the image to check on it. Here is an inverted image of the final painting.
