Acrylic on Canvas
80 x 60cm

The works are made up of three components; the white texture background, followed by the messy spirited splash, and finally the slow strong gradient stroke. The gradient colours were chosen by identifying the brightest colour against the deepest colour of the environment at a specific time of day. The slow steady application of the stoke, after the uninhibited gestural splash forces me to shift my thinking, and my hand-eye co-ordination. Each component is intuitive - moving between complete abandon and frenzied focus
