Description
My work is about paint, specifically oil paint and the way it holds the brush mark. This makes the surface of primary importance, with texture varying from thin glaze to impasto.
Gesture governs the quality and character of the marks which may appear random but which are controlled by various brush sizes and shapes. Other painting tools include palette knives, fingers and spatulas.
The paint is continuous to the edges of the canvas as the work is intended to be seen without a frame ie. as a ‘made object’, not a ‘window on the world.
This piece is a riot of colour seemingly reflecting the sometimes chaotic nature of the modern world.
