“Razor’s Edge” Works by Elliott Puckette
As liberating as the web has been for information flow, it has many limitations. Often I want to post the work of an artist but hesitate because the screen simply doesn’t do it justice. Such is the case with the work of Elliott Puckette. Layers and layers of pigment are applied to gessoed canvas then scratched through with a razor blade resulting in a calligraphy-like image.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments…agreed!
I can understand now what you mean because there must be an amazing textured quality to each when seen in a gallery setting. I’m glad you alerted us to his technique so we could try to see past the limitations of our computers.
