NeonCrimson is another ‘identity’ painting. Part of my ‘identity’ series, this painting explores Thai and Aboriginal patterns within artworks. I have touched on this concept before. Because I married a Thai lady and I feel very Thai socially, so the overall theme is about two cultures (Australian & Thai), merging to create a new identity, embracing change, and becoming one! So I have tried to create repetitive organic-looking markings that have a connection to both cultures. This crimson-purple painting was conceived after completing the Fields Of Gold painting. I was interested in mark-making and repetitive patterns so I pushed it further with new colour combinations.
Abstraction: Is not considered an accurate representation of the world around us. Basically, it uses colour, forms and gestural mark-making to convey the artist’s interpretation or vision. Abstraction is used to convey a story or evoke a feeling. There are a myriad of different ways to approach abstraction in painting and I have developed a few distinct or unique styles.
Text paintings: this style is generally layers of text in a stylised font. I build combinations of different colours and font sizes to create patterns so the letters or words start to merge or entwine thus becoming obscure. I want the viewer to really look at the work to find meaning, and thus immerse themselves in the artwork.
Geometric shapes: this style is more about building patterns and colour combinations however I do like to covertly work a theme into the artwork sometimes. Because of my background in sign writing, I find the above two styles of abstraction to ‘fit’ with my identity, and I like to challenge myself with new concepts or approaches to my art.
