Here i tried to challenge my views on certain areas on Art. A few years ago i visited a Rothko Exhibit and had a lack of respect for the series as i thought it was to simplistic and didn't really understand it. I decided to study his processes and attempt a copy of one of his paintings. This piece is around six ft and took me weeks to complete. I followed the traditional layering and egg wash process continuously to try and achieve a realistic copy. The process alone made me respect Rothko for the dedication alone, then once i had finished i appreciated his work even more. Although this piece may seem simplistic i put so much work and dedication into it i formed an attachment and am very proud of the turn out. (Acrylic paint, egg wash - using brushes and sponge on 6 individual canvas's)
This isn't the chapel, but the sculpture outside. Inside was too dark and impossible to capture the artist's subtle color schemes.
