Acrylic on canvas
Signed certificate of authenticity.
Seminal abstract expressionist painter Larry Poons describes the process of painting as a series of mistakes. My abstract practice can be similarly summed up. The work is built up from intuitive decisions, painting with fingers and hands in acrylic paint over multiple sessions. Sometimes the canvas is laid out on the floor and sometimes pinned to the wall. It is a process of following those mistakes of movement and gesture to find the painting, allowing it to reveal itself. The photos do not capture the impact of the scale, colour and movement of the piece.
Painted on triple-primed duck canvas with high quality acrylic paint. The canvas is currently unstretched and should be order through Bluethumb's stretching service. Once stretched it can be displayed framed or unframed.
