"At the River, Groove Armada"

Title: At the River, Groove Armada
Medium: Oil on canvas (hand-worked), ready to hang

Origin. The idea was simple: paint the feeling of a river’s pause—the quiet at a bend when the current slows and you can finally take stock. The title nods to that calm cadence. The goal was not illustration but translation: turn rhythm into structure and time into measured intervals.

Composition & process. Terraced planes read as sandbar, bank, and deck—engineered surfaces that steady the scene. Within them, small cubes act as markers or buoys, pacing the eye the way pylons pace a channel. Vertical elements rise like pilings or masts, giving the composition a lived scale. Edges are taped and released for clean transitions; thin glazes build quiet light; lightly abraded passages keep the surface honest.

Storyline (in my voice). I built this to steady you—like slack water at a bend—just long enough to see clearly. I drew the channel first, then set the markers, then tuned the planes until the composition breathed at the right tempo. When the geometry finally carried that still-moving rhythm, I signed it and applied my studio seal.

Viewing notes. Read left to right along the waterline; let the eye step from cube to cube like markers on a chart, then rest on the verticals before returning to the bank. From close range, watch the glazes shift temperature inside each plane—small changes that keep the calm alive.

Title & presentation. Titled as shown; signed on the front; studio-stamped with documentation on the back. Ready to hang.

Collector highlights

• Signature language: architectonic landscape with cubes as temporal markers and disciplined verticals—recognizable within the practice.

• Engineered flow: channel, markers, and terraced planes translate river rhythm into balanced, liveable geometry.

• Material discipline: layered oils, clean edges, transparent glazes, and selective abrasion for depth without fuss.

• Installation-friendly palette: calm neutrals and moderated warms designed to anchor a primary wall without overpowering a room.

• Narrative clarity: a clear, shareable story—a pause at the bend—that collectors and guests remember.

• One-of-one: unique original (no prints); documented, studio-stamped, and built to deepen with time.
