Abstract Painting on Canvas
by Brendan Walsh (ColdGhost)

This original large mixed media painting was a continuation of my recent experiment in using different techniques to apply the paint.

The canvas surface was prepared by gluing down recycled paper to create texture and background contrast.

Then the paint was applied using Rollers, rags, scrapers, spray packs, Paint Pens and pencils and even with my fingers.

I have been using anything except brushes as I continue to explore ways of applying the paint to the surface.

The work is an Abstract Statement Piece that would create maximum impact to any room.

This artwork is directly influenced by Graffiti in City Laneways, Vintage Billboards and other weathered surfaces.

The work is textured from the thick built up layers of paint and paper.

This piece was also inspired by my love of gestural abstraction and my obsession with using spray paint.

Insitu examples are not to scale.

The work comes on a stretched canvas painted black around the edges and is ready to hang.
