Hello everybody....
I have been working on a new painting inspired by the palette visible below.
The are becomming surrealist developments of a sub-conscious illustration, in which objects previously witnessed within my installation art pieces, become 2Dimensional shapes reworked compositionally on canvas and inhabited by my Keith Hartley inspired drawing style.
In my piece for John Moores the composition will hold no colour, with the exception of paynes grey outlines, as I am interested in the outlines themselves monouvering amongst each other as the eventual image. It is almost as if I am trying to integrate everything I encounter on a level playing field. Objects become playing grounds for the featurless characters. There is no preference of object, personna or environment; it is an amalgamation of all I see or recall.
The 'surreal' comes from how the everyday is remastered into a celebration where internal becomes external and visa versa, mixed with the white space between the monotony of line, the overall effect is one of optical impressiveness and in need of the creative imagination from audience, as a means to mentally generate an emotional environment for the work, as they will inevitably fill that which is recogniseable...say a chair...with their own personalised aesthetic relevant to their own encounters or tastes.
If I was to colour in between the lines then I would leave nothing for audiences to take ownership of and who am I to stifle the creativity of everyday people like me.
The canvas dimensions are H: 250cm W: 80cm D: 3cm
