The Long Ascent by Kurtis Brand 14' × 51" Acrylic on Canvas with Oil Pastel, Charcoal, and Chalk
Blue carried the full 14' feet, broken by grey, ochre, and olive, black line drawing looping through at intervals. Coral and red arrive as events along the climb. The surface never settles, every foot holds its own weather.
Vertical at architectural scale. The column reads whole from a distance and delivers a different painting at every height you stand. This piece was intense to create and took 3 weeks, outside in the elements built for an incredible couple in a custom-made commission to spec.
