Contact High: Abstract Painting on cardboard
by Brendan Walsh (ColdGhost)

This original artwork was a continuation of my recent experiment in using different techniques to apply the paint. The work was created using Sponges, rags, plastic and scrapers, in fact almost anything but brushes.

The work is directly influenced by Graffiti in City Laneways, Vintage Billboards and other weathered surfaces. The work is also inspired by my love of gestural abstraction and my obsession with using spray paint.

This artwork has a textured finish created by built up layers of paper and paint, a visual effect mimicking the look you would see in the street where this effect is created over time on Graffiti Walls & Advertising Spaces, Insitu examples are not to scale.

The work comes framed in white and is ready to hang.
