In response to the reduced freedoms we are experiencing with the threat of COVID-19 my desire to cover the canvas in pattern is prevented by the addition of a boundary line.
Slicing across the work it acts as a division between the two sides encouraging each to remain in their designated area.
Please note that the in situ images show the painting with Restricted 2.
This work is fitted with D rings and wire for immediate hanging. The pattern continues around all sides, therefore, there is no need to frame. On the back you will find my signature, initials, title and year. It is registered on the NRAA (National Registry for Australian artists).The work comes with details of the registration and a Certificate of Authenticity.
THE LINEAR COLLECTION
This series takes inspiration from the repetitive simplicity of minimalism with its precise geometry and blends it with explosive pattern and vibrant colour.
Strips are cut from dried paint and laid by hand over the canvas often with the addition of wallpaper. By painting a variety of abstracts on plasticized surfaces I am able to remove the works when dry enabling a choice of which side of the strips to show. Each finished piece is, therefore, a unique blend of the usually visible with the often hidden.The more they are looked at the more there is to see.
