Bluminal Painting

Bluminal is a minimalist abstract expressionist artwork in my Liminal series The Liminal series is typified by absolute minimalist style, where the composition and colour palette is used with intense deliberation considered design, and careful execution. The inspiration and themes touched on in the Liminal series are emotions and interaction. Bluminal represents development and growth. From a child to an adult; from a seed to a tree; from an idea to a product. As with other pieces in the Liminal series, the true scale of the subject matter is left unanswered, but through the design and composition, the painting has a calming almost familiar feel to it. Bluminal's white borders have been continued over onto the sides of the canvas which means it can be hung either framed or unframed. I have subtly signed the painting on the front and finished it off with several layers of matte varnish to highlight the colours, and protect the painting. I use matte varnish throughout the Luminal series as I believe it adds to the gentle and calming nature of the artworks. Bluminal has been painted with high quality pigment rich acrylic paints on custom made artist-grade 90cm x 120cm Victorian Ash stretchers on 100% Belle Arti 68U linen (very high quality). The above photos present Bluminal in home settings, though it would work equally well in an office environment.
