Painting - Oil On Linen
Description
2012
Framed oil on linen.
In 2012, I began to compose abstract oil paintings on stretched linen. These paintings have a similar feeling to my landscape paintings in that I continued to use a combination of scumbling and glazing technique in order to create misty and poetic images.
The compositional structure is the catenary curve- �the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends.�
Into and onto that mathematical structure I inject a particular element of natural abstraction and form created by energy- particularly atmospheric and organic forms.
In this painting I developed the forms with the hanging chain but then turned the paintings 180 degrees. The feeling was immediately one of lightness.
