ED. 2014. acrylic/mylar 36x48
Pentimento is an Italian word. It describes the traces, which sometimes shimmer through layers of thinned paint. They reveal the thought process of a painter.
In the portrait on this page the lines you see are the process and at the same time the hint to the movements, because my subject is a dancer. Her face her fingers, her arms and shoulders are trained to draw the silhouettes in the limelight and in the shadows they caste.
Pentimenti is a name of a gallery on the 2nd Street in Philadelphia http://www.pentimenti.com/
It represents my husband, Mark Khaisman www.khaismanstudio.com/
"What a coincidence!" you exclaim. Indeed! This is how I squeezed just another foreign word in my obese vocabulary.
