Untitled Painting

The painting is on backed wooden panel allowing it to be easily hung with no hanging hardware to be seen once on the wall. Once hung the backing can't easily be seen therefore the painting has a floating effect (see photos above). I paint on wooden panels because they have the perfect surface to create my paintings on. The wooden surface provides a smooth hard surface, clean-cut edges etc. Which is all in keeping with the subject of my painting. My primary concern within my practice is to express the grid structures role within society and nature. Representing the grid in a physical form to emphasize how as a society an un-escapable grid surrounds us. The grid is used as a tool in society, creating revolutionary leaps in technology, communication and architecture. The grid is part of society it is no longer a matter of choice for a growing proportion of the world’s population to live within it. However the grid does not control the essence of the natural world. Nature doesn’t abide by the grid structure set by humans; it is constantly trying to escape beyond its designated barrier. To create this painting I juxtaposed man-made and natural objects. Focusing on each element of the objects individually, allowing different characteristics of the objects in its basic form to be seen, exposing interesting differences between natural and man-made structures. With the endeavour to represent nature’s defiance towards the grid and societies fight for control.
