WerkShoppe 500 Piece Puzzle - Sunset Swim

For WerkShoppe's 500-Piece Puzzle, Sunset Swim, artists Signe and Genna Grushovenko have taken inspiration from their collection of vintage photos. The couple reside in Greenville, South Carolina and have been collaborating on paintings since getting married in 1999.

Genna begins their process by applying rich layers of pattern and tone to gessoed masonite or linen supports. Signe then draws with oil pastel atop the abstract underlayer using the photo(s) for reference, and completes the image with blocky “panes” of oil colour. The final results of their collaboration are multi-layered paintings with deep surfaces, crisp at first glance but rewarding the careful viewer with an undercurrent of complex tonality and colourplay.
