Yellow Energy / Minimal Abstract Painting

A minimal composition of warm yellow and orange comprised of thousands of lines, flecks and dots. The edges are slightly darker creating a vignette to offset the vibrating field of energy. The canvas is textured and its sides are painted a solid dark warm black. Yellow Energy can be displayed both vertically and horizontally. Technique: My painting process begins by.texturing a stretched canvas with gesso and silica sand. The texture gives the painting a natural, almost sculptural tactility..Once the surface dries, I apply paint using a small fan brush and stick. For several hours, I tap the paint-loaded brush to build a field of thousands of flecks, dots and lines. From a distance the painting appears unified and monochromatic. At closer range the surface is actually a vibrating field of infinite colours and lines. I avoid repetitive mechanical applications. Each fleck and line has a unique individuality. Although the painting is predominately one colour, it is far from monochromatic. Monochromes, from my experience, cannot adequately sustain our attention or interest. To ensure that the image is compelling, I use thousands of intricate marks that peak and sustain the attention. While the viewer’s attempts to decipher these infinitely varied marks, mental energy is produced. The longer one examines the complex, enigmatic weave, the more the viewer feels energized. At least, this is what I am aiming for - to give the viewer a positive, holistic experience.
