Detailed image description for Rapid Eye Movement
Detailed image description for Rapid Eye Movement
Rapid Eye Movement is a dream like pen and ink piece that borrows from Life drawing and surrealism. It measures 11 inches high by 14 in wide. The small strokes of peach, orange, sky blue, sage, Forest green, chocolate brown, and navy are reminiscent of the limited but vibrant palette of the Sunday comics. Horizontal swipes of color are next to each other but not blended.
Most of the image is of a two-towered wall of orange brick. In the center, between the two towers, is an open archway. On either side of this passage are French windows. Above the archway is a round four paned window. Blocks of green and blue squares above the wall suggest distant hills and the starry night sky complete with melon yellow moon in the upper right of the artwork. A green and white scaly path snakes from the bottom left of the image through the gateway to the horizon beyond. Three orange and ochre undulating pillars are situated along the path just inside the arch. An orange foreground is broken up by cracks of white.
But is a simple wall and landscape what we are really seeing? Voluptuous blue-lined clouds drift surrealistically across the front of the wall and windows, around corners and into the archway opening. In the upper left corner a green line slashes from the background hills to the front of the wall. Orange and mustard sunset colors through the passage contradict the blue and green hills and trees above the wall.

About Robyn
About Robyn
I studied art at the University of California, Irvine and the Winchester School of Art in England and have enjoyed exhibiting my work since 2001.
I explored drawing and printmaking as mediums before settling into my current body of work in pen & ink, which focuses on the mood color can create and emotions that are elicited by varying color combinations. I create art to explore what I observe in my environment as well as my reaction to it.
During the last year, solitude has become my shadow and it’s a hard one to shake. Shadows can be the subject of life but they also produce a sense of light when they create negative space. Community, family, and friendships all become brighter in contrast to solitude. This feeling split life in two and added to a sense of duality that I explore in my artwork, both aesthetically and metaphorically. Up always has a down and cold always has warmth in comparison.
