ABOUT

Modern Day Rothko

-------

After visiting Mark Rothko's exhibition at the Tate Modern in London when I was 19. I was inspired by the large overwhelmingly sized fields of colour. The exquisite nature of their primal minimalism intrigued me from day one.

This piece took more than two years to layer and develop.
A reflection of chaos amongst the light. This painting adds so much colour to your imagination. Minimalist in appearance, yet with deep and complex composition.

This was initially developed with Acrylic, diluted and layered multiple times. After I completed this first stage, I expressed the tertiary layers with oil paint, allowing the texture of the oil paint itself tell a unique story.
