Immersed Painting Print

Exposing Painting to the Elements “Immersed Painting” is part of a series of paintings, designed to be exposed to the elements. Paintings, in general, are thought of as fragile, a maintenance problem, with changes in humidity being considered as a key problem. These experiments try to expose paintings to wind and weather, or the see, let them breath, be soaked. Oil paint, or even egg tempera, are extremely resilient. “Immersed Painting” was immersed in the Irish See at “AAEX Installations on the Beach” in June 2019, an afternoon of group installations on Dunany Beach, Co. Louth, Ireland. It was subsequently hosed down to remove the saltwater and dried in the sun. The painting can be framed or installed unframed in doors, or occasionally outdoors. It can also be immersed again, if needed, whereby any prolonged outdoor exposure will be experimental, any fading, wear and tear occurring over time would be part of the concept. In this sense it is up to any prospective owner to judge further exposure and develop the painting further. Repairs may be undertaken. There is no single stage, in which these paintings should be preserved. They should live an breathe every now and again, and thus may age and deteriorate.
