Forrest Dance Painting

McRostie artist-photographer creative based in his Sabadell Barcelona studio for the past ten years. Known for his work in mixed media and three-dimensional form. McRostie constantly walks the line between digital and traditional disciplines. He has said that for him there is little difference between the two, they are both just tools in his creative box. “I simply try to express my thoughts and feelings with the best medium for the task at hand. As I was trained initially as a photographer this discipline continues to run through my work, I try to limit its influence on my painting. I make efforts to keep simple ideas loose, painting in layers, many layers are used in most of my work. Areas of an image are abraded rubbed and polished then sealed with a clear medium and worked again. The secret is knowing when to stop and pronounce the work finished”. I create works in acrylic, charcoal & ink. The works go through many processes to achieve images or form that encourages the viewer, I hope to look and look again. All paintings are framed by myself as I feel the frame should be part of the artwork, not just a practical form of presentation. I try to use reclaimed timber in the frames if possible as it gives the material another life & if executed well improves the warmth of the work. All of my work is available as original framed pieces, framed limited edition prints or digital downloadable print files. I exhibit mainly in Spain but I am always interested in speaking to galleries & art lovers worldwide. I am very open and approachable so if you would like to discuss my work personally just contact me via our contact form or simply call me on +34 662052088.
