ClassificationsPAINTING
Label TextJoe Zucker's paintings focus on the tension between surface and image. To create the figure of the burning candle, the artist first soaked canvas strips in Rhoplex™, an acrylic medium, which he then arranged on the round canvas. The highly textured image is easier to see from a distance.
