'INDIFFERENT DOORS' - Mixed Media on Canvas
Dimension: 30"x40"
Certification of Authenticity: Apricus Art Collection
Signature: Signed by Artist
The artwork "Indifferent Doors" by Eddie McClure is a mixed media composition on canvas that exemplifies the use of abstract expressionism. The canvas is a battleground of brushwork, where broad, gestural strokes of teal and grey create a dynamic background. Against this, bold swaths of magenta add a layer of emotional intensity and contrast, creating a focal point that draws the viewer's eye. The sporadic use of black lines gives the impression of an underlying structure or form, which is deliberately obscured by the more dominant colors.
The piece exhibits a raw, textural quality, with the layering of media suggesting depth and movement. The various media employed by McClure interact to produce an interplay of matte and gloss finishes, which can evoke different responses depending on the lighting and angle from which the piece is viewed. The title "Indifferent Doors" may suggest a thematic exploration of apathy or the unnoticed opportunities and paths in life, as doors typically represent choices or transitions. The absence of any recognizable doors in the visual composition could imply a metaphorical interpretation, inviting contemplation on the notion of indifference in the face of potential change.

BIOGRAPHY
Hi my name is Eddie McClure, I am based on the gulf coast of Florida, and I do my best to participate in creation. “Self taught” with formal experience, I’ve spent the past 2 decades either working in creative fields or holding a close personal creative expression as a passion. Over the years I’ve found painting to be a place of repose and the most accurate medium to convey and share my multi-sensory experience as well personal commentaries.
Artist Statement: I look to create paintings that are eclectic, colorful, and inspiring. utilizing rhythmic markings, obstructed patterns, vintage ephemera, and transparent mediums to bring subjectivity into visual form. I hope to invoke introspection and personal reflection in the people that see my works. A doorway for them to lead themselves instead of me saying where they should go.
