Pink Form Print

The painting is Acrylic paint on 12oz canvas primed with acrylic gesso, the edges of the canvas are not painted and are clean so the work can be hung without a frame. This work was completed in the summer of 2018. The pattern in this work is created using multiple layers of acrylic ink. The whole image is inspired by the signs, symbols and objects we see everyday that become part of our language. The idea is to create a feeling you are looking at something recogniseable and familiar that could fit into this language. The process of creating the work is as important to me as the finished image, the aim is for them at first glance to look mathematically precise but at closer inspection there can be seen incremental errors. This idea of imperfection created meticulously through a controlled process where the pursuit of perfection creates errors and the idea of the uncontrollable outcome of control interests me. My work focuses on formal and representational geometric abstraction and the application of paint to a flat surface. It is informed by the investigation of the semiotics of control and the physical forms of functional objects that assist that control. My works explore various colour and monochrome pallets
