About the Work
"Afternoon Reverie" is an enhanced serigraph on canvas created by Kerry Hallam in 1998. From the deluxe edition of 100 on canvas, the edition also included 450 on white paper for a total edition size of 550. The artwork is signed 'Kerry Hallam' lower left and annotated lower right. The canvas size is 27 x 36" and the artwork is framed in an ornate, gold-tone frame. The artwork ships framed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Kerry Hallam's "Afternoon Reverie" is a testament to the "inner sensations" that can be conveyed from artist to canvas to viewer. Hallam has the ability to reach inside and share a moment of complete and utter pleasure through his artwork.
"Afternoon Reverie" leads us to a cove of activity. Yachts play in the gentle waters, sunbathers dot the sandy beach, and feathery grass with vivid blooms accent the windswept dunes. In the distance, the lighthouse guides the boats to the bustling town just beyond the jetty. Sailboats drift just outside of town where perhaps the land lovers will dock and venture with sandy feet to discover the quaint little shops and cafes. Pleasure and relaxation are clearly the priority.
Hallam crafts a landscape that is carefree and brilliantly sun-lit. The sunshine radiates heat as the softness of the sand sifts between your toes and gentle waves lap at your ankles. "Afternoon Reverie" shares with us Hallam's enthusiastic and distinctive ability to convey his celebration of life that all can enjoy!
