Rickety Navigation IV Painting by Justine Formentelli

Painting: Acrylic on Canvas.

In these series, I explore the themes of precariousness, fragility and balance which mirrors our existential condition.
I made the same composition several times to explore the materiality of the paint, feel more confident in my gestures and through repetition devise my own set of rules... It was also a way to stick to a defined composition and not keep on adding on and/or erasing with no end in sight. The constraints were necessary in order not to fall into arbitrariness.
