Blue Yonder Painting

The spring air in rural France is adrift with fluff and insects; the grass is high and jet trails criss-cross the vast blue heavens. This work evokes the feeling of spending the day lying back in the deep grass. This is the third of a series of six pieces called HINTERLAND, which is a series of action paintings referencing the artist's profound moments in nature. The series marks a lost epoch when once there were truly wild places. The acrylic polyurethane paint was poured, flung and drizzled onto 340g cotton duck primed canvas laid flat. This technique, popularised by Jackson Pollock, was adopted so that no human hand directly controlled the application of the medium, in order to reinforce the wilderness theme of the series. Also for this reason, the works are signed on the back of the canvas, not on the image. The artist pigmented the tint base manually to customize a pallet for the painting. The viscosity and thickness of the applied paint make the interweaving textures as important to the piece as the form and color of the splashes. The canvas was stretched for priming but was removed from the stretcher for painting. The high quality of the paint and canvas ensures that the canvas may be stretched and mounted.
