Description

This is the Methodist Church, built in 1882 and one left out of 2 churches in Bodie, California, one of the best preserved ghost towns in the USA. I captured the image in the winter of 2009 and my brother-in-law and I were the only ones visiting. We went with a four-wheel-drive and rented skis just to be sure if we would get stuck, as there was a lot of snow on the road. When the ranger spotted me he showed me around. Bodie is a state historic park in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. At the end of the 19th century Bodie - a gold and silver mining town - was the second largest town in California (after San Francisco). There are 50 pieces in this limited edition. This is number 48. The technique is from the early days of b&w photography also known as hand tinting. The photo was printed using black and gray inks only on canvas, which I hand colored with translucent acrylic and oil paint. The canvas is stretched on bars and framed in rustic reclaimed wood floater frame. A textured gel coating is applied to the front. Wire on the back for easy hanging. A certificate of authenticity is attached to the back.

Roy Kerckhoffs Art

In my 2D mixed media work I enjoy conveying a story of a place with a history. I love bold textures as these are created by passing time, therefore putting emphasis on bygone days. In particular, I aim to show the beauty that exists in human-made wooden, concrete and steel structures contrasting with soft organic forms from nature. My favorite subjects are industrial objects, ghost towns and coastal themes with an element of human origin in it. To obtain my goal I portray these by high-contrast black and white photographs and hand color the photographs with either oils, acrylics or pastels. My frames have a relation with the subject matter, such that the final product is an integrated whole.
