The piece of art from the Tang Museum that I found most interesting was this painting by Fred Tomaselli entitled Multiple Landscape. It was done in 1995 and incorporates saccharin, acrylic, and resin paints on top of a wooden panel. It's actually quite large in person (about as big as me) and the colors really jump out at you. The background is a picture-esque forest scene with pine trees and clear blue skies. On top of this is a random zig-zagging pattern of red, orange, blue, and yellow paint. Tomaselli admits to drawing much of his inspiration from nature, so I like to think that the forest backdrop represents his inspiration and the paint on top represents his work.
