Air Painting

Please Note: This painting is currently on loan until December 2021 through London's foremost Art Consultancy. 'Air' remains for sale but can not be dispatched until the loan ends in December. 'Air' forms part of a collection of 5 x paintings on the theme of the 5 Elements - Earth, Fire, Air, Spirit and Water. The 5th Element of Spirit is glimpsed in all 5 paintings in an elusive oval shape. If you are interested in finding out about all 5 paintings in the series, please contact me; 07951 415699. However, 'Earth' is now sold and 'Spirit' in only available to view at my London studio. This artwork relates to my interest in Encaustic painting - an ancient technique that uses layers of heated beeswax, to which pigments and mixed media are added. It is a medium that appeals strongly to the sense and which I have used extensively. This painting forms part of the 'Elements' collection of paintings in Oil, Acrylic and Digital Media and takes inspiration from the qualities inherent in the Encaustic process. Here, I also aim for a translucent, shimmering quality so that within the finished image the viewer can see or partially see what has gone on before and uses multiple layers. The multi layers act like windows upon windows. By this process, the artwork transmutes into a mysterious, unknown new entity that is much more than the sum of its parts. Akin to Alchemy, it is a seemingly magical process of transformation. The subject is at once recognisable and yet not quite recognisable; occupying the space of metaphor and yet drawing inspiration from the natural world. In this ColIection, I am interested in all that is fleeting. Whether the subjects are Air, Light, Water, the Cosmos, the Inexplicable or the Vastness of Space; perhaps it is in glimpses of these elusive great Mysteries that Eternity can be glimpsed.
