Latest Painting
This painting is a continuation of one I started, decided it wasn’t working and cut it in half. I wanted this painting to concentrate on space, particularly space that can be created using sharp contrasting edges that could perhaps form some sort of ‘structure’, giving the impression of space.
I decided I would mask the painting (this was before I knew of the problems of masking tape) as if there was a distant ‘space’ or ‘wall’ with two lines extending from those edges to form some sort of perspective.
This work has a more architectural composition than my previous ones, due to my conscious decision to concentrate on structured space.
After I laid down the tape I then painted over the top in an attempt to produce colour- line combinations that were in contrast to one another. I tried to do this by using contrasting colours and light and dark tones. The contrasting colours highlight the colours beneath to exaggerate the shapes created by the masking tape.
