Macrocosm
I was interested in putting together all of the 3D-splatter and paint-pouring techniques that I have developed since I began experimenting with abstract painting in 2019. The result is a many-layered piece that is highly reactive under different lighting conditions. For example, strong light shining at the painting from an angle will reveal the deep textures created by the thickened paint mixtures, maximising contrast between built-up areas and pockets of shadow. The images below were taken in bright sunlight and illustrate this effect.
While normally I would restrict the colour palette to some extent, for this piece I decided to use 'all of the colours' in the interests of creating maximum colour variation. In addition to the textural variations, this creates a rich abstract landscape that can be appreciated from a distance as well as close-up.
Canvas size is 100x150cm.

For this diptych, titled Black & White, I wanted to experiment with texture without the distraction of using colour. My aim was to create the widest possible range of textural variations using the available tools and materials, plus all of the processes and techniques I have developed. As well as the various mixtures of baby powder, PVA glue, wall filler and acrylic paint, I have used a variety of mixed media, including small stones, glitter and beads. This has given rise to an interesting and varied abstract landscape that is highly reactive to light.
Both canvasses are 100x150cm.
