2021 Notes From Artists Dennis Eavenson And Sharon Eavenson On The Tropical Tango V Collection

These artworks reveal a rhythmic interplay of radiating leaf pattern so prevalent in the structural form of succulent plants. Our
visual examination sets the stage for viewers to explore shape, form, pattern, color and abstraction with a strong reference to
nature. Juxtaposing rich terra-cotta backgrounds against the green foreground fronds to flatten the space and emphasizes
the radiating aspects of plant growth. Spike like elements take on an aggressive presence. They vie for attention and create
visual tension. Bathed in a dusky lighting, they bring to mind warm evenings spent in exotic gardens where the drama of a
romantic Tango could occur.
