Modern Bamboo is a oil (alkyd) painting on interlocking panels.  This piece breaks down into two pieces ease in shipping.  The panels are made from 3/4" mahogany plywood so they are very stable and  rigid. 

The artist used a process know as glazing to build up the colors of each panel.  There is a nice cast shadow effect that is created when the painting is hung on the wall because of the different panel levels.

The edges are painted gallery wrap style so the image continues around the edge.  This piece would not be framed as the edges and interlocking panels make the painting unique.  This original painting was signed by Maui Artist Guy Junker on the front of the painting and was also signed, dated and titled on the back.  A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany the painting.

"This bamboo painting has wonderful jewel like colors because of the glazing process.  I wanted to instill a sense of airiness or lightness with this painting.  Use of the vertical rectangular panels of different sizes, mimics the structure of the bamboo itself and adds the feeling like you are peering through a bamboo forest .  "
