Hidden Messages
Stepping away from my usual palette of greens and blues, Hidden Messages is an exploration of the world outside of my comfort zone, a colourful abstract experiment.
A more intense abstract painting than i usually paint (owed to the red and brown tones), this high textured canvas was created with the theme of mixed/hidden messages in mind, forms hiding behind one another and letters emerging when you look hard enough.
Mount board and clay are used as a base layer on this 90cm x 60cm canvas to build up a thick texture then acrylic paints are scraped over the surface using a palette knife to create this dark coloured high impact abstract painting.
This painting was auctioned at an auction, raising money for the Royal National Institute of the Blind.
