Window (2) 5th February 2013

Window (2) 5/2/13

Following up from my previous picture "Window", I liked it so much I thought I would recreate it using acrylic paint because as of yet I have not used paint for quite some time. I have also had a canvas lying around so I decided I would use that to paint this recreation onto.

The previous picture of course was dune using chalks, I liked the vivid colours that could be achieved, the subtleness of it, the potential for detail and the ability to use an eraser to control effects. Similarly I found with painting the potentially for vivid colour can still be achieved and is very much appropriate as I have been investigating aspects of colour and light and its effect on these geometric forms I have been producing.

Reflecting on this picture, I'd like to think it provides an alternative view of the so called constructed reality in which we live in. Perhaps it provides another way of seeing and experiencing, there is a relation to the real but it is redefined and played upon through a combination of form, colour and space.
