Abstract Painting

Abstract Painting

Jewels And Gold: truly stunning large acrylic painting! For this best abstract expressionism painting I started with a blank mind and a blank canvas. After staring at the canvas for a while, a thought came to me… I want to use gold and bronze squeezed straight from the tubes. So I under-painted the canvas green then went crazy with broad fast gestures of black paint. I continued my mark-making journey with yellow, white, and different tones of green, then back to black. Next, I decided I wanted all of my gold and bronze shapes to be geometric (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles). I know that a lot of people wouldn’t think of a painting to be predominately green but I love this painting… it’s perfect! I love to paint! I learnt to draw at a young age but once I started to understand the principles and techniques of painting, it transferred me to another level of appreciation and anticipation. In my younger years, I went for private lessons in landscape painting (after hours). Then, in my later years I went to college (TAFE) & Uni NSW (COFA) to learn more where I managed to get many distinctions across different disciplines: painting | drawing | ceramics | and professional practice. My biggest passions in life are art and music! ALL PAINTINGS is home to all Cviisual Art Studio’s paintings for sale. We have a broad range of best-quality archival paintings across most genres.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM PAINTING: Abstract Expressionism is all about action painting and colour field painting. Action painting requires vigorous application of paint, often splashed, thrown or poured. Colour field painting is all about large fields of bold, flat colours across the picture plane. I generally play in the fields of ‘action painting’ in this genre. I love to start with a blank canvas and a clear mind. I collect a few colours as a starting point before making my first mark. The thickness of the paint will guide my technique. If my paint is thin I can attack the canvas with flicks of the wrist and watch the paint run down the canvas. The running paint becomes a metaphor for the pain and suffering in life. With thin paint I can make splashes, drips or long flowing gestural marks and this is when I am in the zone. I make my purist artwork like this.
