You're bidding on original paintings created by artist/scenic
designer Lewis Folden.
I have enjoyed a thirty year career that began
with a Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale. As an award-winning scenic
designer my work has appeared in many theatres -- Washington DC's
Kennedy Center, Philadelphia's Peoples' Light & Theatre Co., Woolly
Mammoth, The Arden Theatre, The Boston Ballet, Miami City Ballet,
and Minneapolis' Children's Theatre Co. to name just a few. My work
has appeared on both coasts and has traveled as far afield as London
and Prague. I've taught at SUNY Buffalo, George Mason U, Georgetown
U, and the U of Maryland at Towson.
My design work incorporates the talent and skills of an artist, but
the expression is a very public one. As time has passed, I've felt
the need to paint and create in a more personal and intimate way.
That is the part of me that you are seeing on eBay and which I'd like
to share with you.
Painter's elevations are precisely detailed miniature guides that a scenic designer creates and gives to the scenic artist so that the scenery can be painted exactly to his specification. These two plates of elevations are from a production of "Rashomon" done at Catholic University in Washington DC in 1987.
They are painted on artist's illustration board in the center of a white field which contains identifying text and instructions to the scenic artists. Separately framed, they're still intended to display as a pair.
These are exactly scaled diagrams as well as paintings. Please note that they started life in a scenic shop, and have the occasional, minor smudge from handling. I've been careful to choose only elevations where this serves to create a bit of authenticity and interest without distracting from the display.
The backdrop stood 20' high and 38' wide when it was finished.
