From the beginning of this year I have been working with a geometry based within a twelve sided shape (dodecagon). It is a fascinating limitation to work within and over the past few months I have discovered a series of compositions that I am currently translating from drawings into painting.
The technique of this work is a continuation of previous paintings like 'Static Animation' and others made during 2018. In this variation I have used my present interest in the total spectrum of colour, which has also become a fascinating limitation to explore in and of itself.
The black marker was used in stages to cover the coloured ground while retaining visible traces of the scribbling process and allowing moments of translucent imperfection to expose the under painting. This was done as a way of maintaining qualities of the original drawing within the painted object, and to display qualities of 'rainbow scratch paper' for which this work was partially inspired.
