Neil Kathol Visual Art

This picture is painted on all sides of the stretcher; as if, along with its size, to emulate an object namely a door. The imagery can refer to architecture. The background can refer to a building such as a condo or retail building above the earth below the surface. The foreground can refer to a tipi. Tipi’s are popping up in urban centres. Tipi frames present a classical geometry of a kind. Perhaps they cooperate with (if not “out-do” most settler architecture) (such mainly rectangles and boxes built for their expediency). This representation of a frame emulates angle iron pieces, which I painted from, semi-observationally. The angle irons thusly arranged and left bare in their setting, suggest a construction project underway; maybe a tipi reaching up to the height of the city.
