Adam Caldwell. Signal Flare - Limited Edition Prints. Max Edition Size: 40. 16 x 20 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm Fine Art Paper. $ 50.00. "This is a painting of one of my favorite models, Victoria. I painted her in front of a vintage photo of a railway signal man swinging a lantern at night. He’s sending information to the conductor of the train by moving the light in different patterns. There are also elements from an architectural model, a receding yellow fire hose, and some backwards 1950’s ad copy. This piece was part of a recent show with Ekundayo and Joram Roukes "New Generation" at Thinkspace gallery in July 2013. I used ad copy, historical photos, and female figures as elements in most of the pieces. It’s a bit simpler than most of my compositions. The figure is really centered as well, I usually push for a more asymmetrical placement, but I like how it came out." - Adam Caldwell.
