Artwork Description

I’m crazy about this orange so I’ve used it as my focal point in this abstract with my concept being repetition, patterns and tonal color changes.
An organic start after painting a base color of brown, aubergine and dark indigo purple to help lift the orange.
The colors contrast against each other which evolved as the design was being created with each layer.
I’ve used an accent of lime green marks, fluro green which pops against on line of white which I think balance the work.
I’ve alter the blue tones with a small shift in the shades, also done though out the darker browns / reds.
This is a random abstract of small markings with various application methods.
Arrives with sides finished in black with a UV coating of gloss finish.
On request it can be framed and would look very nice with an external oak frame.
Please allow an extra 10 day before shipping

Artist Bio

Hi everyone, I work for my studio on the Gold Coast and I'm an an abstract expressionist artist also exploring some abstract figurative work which I enjoy.
Painting for me is like food, it nourishes the soul, has to be done every day with loads of variations, always seeking new concepts to create a broad base of ecliptic subject matter expressed in color.
I like the element of surprise with the composition planed to some degree yet still allowing spontaneous flow.
My process can be intensive with multiple layers creating depth and vibrancy, heavy textures, gestural brush strokes, palette knife and wet into wet applications that’s always exciting with unexpected color combinations.
Not all my work is bright, I also like earthy tones and the balancing of cool and warm hues with textural elements.
Ive explores a range of techniques which I’ve storing in my arsenal and the common thread thru my work would be colorful, bold, bespoke abstract  with impact and  texture.

Im happy to work with a collect to design a bespoke piece for their interior space, color scheme and I love LARGE SCALE ABSTRACT commissions, the larger the better.
 
I use a range of quality paint, Golden, Hydrocryl, Matisse, oil, Gamblins cold wax, oil stick and charcoals are used in my work, with a UV sealer or cold wax. Frames are custom made pine ;also I use Victorian Ash kiln dry on request - just a tad more expensive.
Quality 4 x primed poly pro cotton canvas and linen available on request.

Since 2016 I’ve been doing private commissions, participating at RQAS, Raw Events Gold Coast 2016 and bespoke artwork for Boutique apartments locally on the Gold Coast.

My inspiration for Judith Murray, Brian Rutenburg, Gustof Limt and Salvador Dali.
