Fred Tomaselli — Green on Red
Fred Tomaselli

Green on Red

Fred Tomaselli's *Green on Red* is a visually arresting work that showcases the artist's signature technique of embedding organic materials directly into the surface of the panel. Actual hemp leaves are suspended beneath a smooth layer of resin, creating a sense of depth and preservation that blurs the boundary between painting and specimen. Bold fields of green and red acrylic infuse the piece with an intense chromatic energy, highlighting Tomaselli's ongoing fascination with natural substances, perception, and the altered states they evoke.
