Palu Palu means "soft" in Hawaiian, a quality that suffuses this image. Like a distant memory or an old photograph, the painting's softness lends it an enigmatic timelessness. Alison Van Pelt begins with a sharp, hyper-realistic image, then overpaints with linear brushstrokes, smoothing away the hard edges and the passage of time. General Public, an art curation and publishing company based in LA, is revolutionizing the way we think about and collect art. Founded by Portia de Rossi, a collector and art world disruptor, General Public makes a radical proposition: a painting shouldn't be enjoyed by just one person, but should be available to all. The General Public Synograph™, a groundbreaking 3-D technology, redefines the limits of printing, recreating every detail of the original artwork with total fidelity. Capturing the nuances of brushwork and technique, these textured prints are an authentic expression of the artist's hand.
