Monotype on white paper. Signed by the artist, dated 1990, and annotated A lower right in pencil.
This large-scale, colorful ocean landscape monotype gives the viewer a hidden vantage point: through the dark silhouette of tangled vines can be seen a placid, turquoise sea lapping against the golden orange shores of an island or outcropping. Zalopany’s painterly strokes of ink mimic light and dark: in translucent, soft swaths of blue that emulate crystal clear tropical waters, and with lacy layers of dark brown, conveying the cool respite of shade.
