Ethan Harper’s Sportscar Collection III

A study in velocity rendered still, this piece from John Richard's Ethan Harper Sportscar Collection III captures the graphic tension of automotive form through a disciplined square format — twenty-five inches in each direction, shallow as a breath against the wall. The interplay of acrylic and wood grounds the composition in material contrast, while the layered application of textured, gloss, and gel finishes lends the surface a dimensional quality that shifts subtly with the light. It is the kind of work that reads as both object and image, commanding a wall the way a well-chosen sculpture commands a room.
