Black & Pink Colourform Painting

About the painting: This work explores paintings most essential aspects, investigating the most integral parts of abstraction such as shape, colour, form, composition and mark making. The base surface was primed with multiple layers of artist made gesso, sanded down between each coat to create a smooth, flat surface. This juxtaposed with the textured, rough surface of the collaged ripped pieces of canvas, which are affixed to the base canvas with a non toxic, high strength glue. This painting was created with high-quality acrylic paint on cotton canvas.The painting will be shipped on its wooden stretchers, which means it can be hung and displayed straight away. The back is titled, hand-signed and dated (year only) and will be supplied along with a certificate of authenticity affixed to the reverse. About my process: When painting, I'm simply exploring the physical properties of the mediums and surfaces I make use of, and the very basic fundamentals of art, such as composition, formation, texture, and colour. I want the viewer to be able to see the processes involved in the works making on a surface level. The brush strokes, the layers, the textures, areas of the work that have been painted over, added and subtracted. This combined with the basic artistic elements of the work, such as the colours used, the works form, and texure, often things that I leave to chance. I try to keep my work expressive, bold and instinctive. For more information please visit www.krisdurkin.com or email info@krisdurkin.com.
