Artist Statement:
Leap is an an illustrative work showcasing the green detailed frogs against the starkly abstracted black and white lily pads.
The background creates depth by revealing the black canvas beneath the blue freeform shapes and the liquid white lines and bubbles. The inspiration comes from the artists love of the intricacies of creatures and from seeing layered water patterns online. The placement of the circles creates balance and rhythm while the frogs direct the viewers eye to the leaping frog and its shadow.
