The painting of his crane sculpture
was “a completely new and unique” experience for artist John
Fronczak. Prior to this project, Fronczak’s experience with
painting three-dimensional forms was confined to “furniture, walls,
and trim.” The crane sculpture was complicated, made up of contours
which twisted, turned, and pulled away from each other. John
envisioned a colorful interplay of shapes, in a variety of sizes,
and appearing to occupy different positions of space relative to
each other. He was hoping to diminish somewhat the
three-dimensional form of the crane sculpture by causing viewers to
focus more on the colorful, broken-up surface. |
