SHIPPED IN A TUBE - REQUIRES STRETCHING
Large figurative landscape abstraction of textured acrylic paint.
These works dive into the complexity and unpredictability of human relationships via a sense of movement and spontaneity. Exploring the balance between order and chaos, connection and isolation.
These pieces are all hand painted originals - NO STENCILS OR SCREEN PRINTING. They are a play on classic retro advertising and people watching, playing with the choices and self expression... with a dash of surreal.
Process - I want my images to feel original, there is no mass production here, NO STENCILS, NO SPRAY PAINT. I conceive images and characters then bring them to life with mostly small brushes and palette knives - contextualised within colour and narratives.
*Look out for the video links of my studio process in many of my listings.
Finish - I paint with semi-gloss mediums, so my work has a natural, subtle sheen to it. I avoid gloss varnish. I want my paintings to be seen from all aspects. If I feel the piece needs a sealer I will add that but I don't want my images getting lost behind reflections. I want the images to show the depth and variation of their layers.
STRETCHING & FRAMING
I give my collectors the chance to purchase my paintings unstretched. This gives you the option to take advantage of Bluethumb’s free framing or go with unstretched if you want to keep costs down. Working like this also allows the painting to extend around the edges, which means the artwork will look great with or without a decorative frame.
For stretching and/or framing, utilise Bluethumb’s framing options to the right of screen above the 'ADD TO CART' button.
