Painting 7
This painting from 2025 demonstrates the increasing maturity of Ara Thorose's approach to polyethylene as a pictorial medium, synthesizing the technical and conceptual innovations developed in previous works in the series. The 76.2 × 101.6cm format proved optimal for this type of exploration, providing enough space for ambitious compositions while maintaining a direct and accessible relationship with the viewer. The 5cm deep construction gives the work a dimensionality that blurs the boundaries between painting and sculptural object, creating a productive ambiguity that is central to Thorose's practice. The polyethylene surface continues to offer unique possibilities for the manipulation of light and the creation of texture, generating visual effects not possible with traditional painterly mediums.
