Description
Of the 1M+ visitors to the Darealprisonart online art gallery, “The Light Of Amber” is amongst the most popular works of art. Created in 2015, the drawing is Wax, on a cardboard box prison lunch, and is featured in the online Artist Close-up, interview article of Donald “C-Note” Hooker.
“Western art is based on light,” says prison artist C-Note. “Whether it’s Fra Angelico and his gold leaf halos around his religious subjects, Rembrandt and his use of chiaroscuro, Claude Monet’s impressionism in his haystack series, or “The Painter of Light,” Thomas Kinkade, and his contemporary works of log cabins,” they all highlight the value of light in Western art.
