violet dissolving into pale yellow, grey rising Painting

The, predominantly, pale yellow almost magnolia back ground is powdering, disintegrating, paint on a wall. There is visibly a grey under-colour breaking through the yellow on the right hand side of the painting; the plain concrete of the wall under the pale yellow paint showing through. The violet vertical mark being reminiscent of a line made with a spray-can. I am referencing things I come across in the urban environment that when taken out of the context of their surroundings become an abstracted image or , if no connection can be made by the viewer to existing phenomena, they appear to be purely abstract. In one sense it is really a work of a representational nature, yet the wall and the sprayed line only exist in my own mind. The painting is not a copy or representation of something existing but a representation of the sort of thing you may see in the urban environment. It is a blur between representation and abstraction, a discussion of our own sense of reality, between things we can define and explain and things we may struggle to grasp and see clearly. The vertical line ( even though on the surface, or hovering over the surface, is in many ways a great crevasse, an opening to something not quite formed or grasped; an allusive thought. The themes underlying all the works ( these particle paintings ) are concerned with integration/disintegration, form/formlessness, existence/non-existence, instability and the transient nature of life and phenomena. Echoing our modern times where much that has been relied upon and trusted as substantial, solid and unchanging has been questioned and broken down. Yet these themes are not easily grasped by looking at the painting alone, they remain hidden unless discussed with the artist. Therefore, this painting, visually, is a pure abstract painting in the tradition of colorfield painting. The painting has been made by placing stretched canvas on the floor. A brush being loaded with paint and then tapped gently above the canvas to give a spray effect; the surface becoming made up of small dots and splashes of paint giving some surface texture; although this is quite minimal as the paint is heavily thinned. Layers of paint are applied one at a time; wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry, and each layer of varying tonal strengths to the last, depending on texture and visual effect desired. Painting is signed, dated and titled on rear. Ready for hanging.
