Oil-based print ink, crayon, and oil stick produces intense colour saturation and intricate texture is achieved by scraping away layers on canvas. Liquid metal leaf introduces a reflective quality alongside complexity and depth.
Playing is bolstered by bold and unusual colour combinations and shapes made with coloured pigment pen. Amping up experimentation proves satisfying.
I continue navigating the interplay between tumult and serenity in these works, characterised by bold strokes, a more daring colour palette, and an evocative use of space.
This collection is exuberant. Indeed, of all the collections within my 52 in 52 works are joy-filled works by choice. Hurly Burly works are guaranteed to enliven any space wanting a bit of a kick with aplomb.
How fun converted into new studio passion
Evenings, several years ago, found me playing with abstraction using Inktense, pigment ink, and gold paint on small watercolour paper cards. I created non-objective designs with no goal, other than to have fun. The playful processes help me relax from the stress of running a brick and mortar picture framing business.
Most importantly, I discovered that choosing to respond in a positive manner to extraordinarily uncomfortable experiences gave me something unexpected.
Persistently exploring “something different” over a course of time rewarded me with five collections of small abstract works: ‘Wabi Sabi’, ‘Rhema Meditation‘, ‘Rollercoaster’, ‘Come Out to Play’, and ‘In the Pink!‘.
As a result, these pioneering works helped inspire me to create new abstract paintings that will debut throughout this next year. ‘Hurly Burly’, shown above, is the second series I’ve debuted.
