{"product_id":"kings-pine-20887","title":"King's Pine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis painting was created in 2026. The framed dimensions are 58 x 42 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Time is a critical element in my work—not the minutes, hours, and years we use to quantify and measure time, but time as a subjective state of mind, a mental melting-pot where memory, awareness, and hope blend together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe images of trees, bushes, shadows and skies find their source in their evocative description of an internal sensibility, not so much in their mimesis of the external world. A bush or a tree comes alive through the application and subtraction of charcoal on a blank surface, building up the dark rich shadows or erasing the charcoal into shapes and edges, revealing the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCreating a description of the specifics of a location is not a concern; for me, the work engages with issues of identity, survival, and renewal in a difficult world—and with the ongoing struggle between the forces of darkness and light. On a technical level, I am engaged with mark-making, patterning, illusionary depth, and the nature of the surface of the painting itself.\" - Stephen Hutchings\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Hutchings","offers":[{"title":"56 x 40 in.","offer_id":44442951123031,"sku":"20887","price":9000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0078\/5937\/2083\/files\/20887.jpg?v=1791818193","url":"https:\/\/gallery78.com\/products\/kings-pine-20887","provider":"Gallery 78","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
