Whats next?
Having researched, explored and experimented with many new materials I feel I have the ground work done and I am ready to produce finished work on a much quicker scale. I shall continue to work with all of these new mediums as I believe they will be successful. My realist and traditional style will not be completely abandoned, I feel a show with mixed mediums and approaches could be very striking. I plan to continue my experiments with scale and layout as these would be key to making everything fit. The whole project is unified by the strength of the subject matter and therefore I can see a successful outcome.
I am settled on the materials I will be painting on, but my search for these materials has broadened to include as many found items as possible. The found items I hope to have wear and indexical traces to give these perhaps more meaning and even more layers for the viewer to explore.
The attached image is one of my larger scale pieces in progress. I intend to mix the traditional and the street stencil styles. This approach has proved successful for another artist I have researched Ernest Zacharevic.
