Copperfields on Turqouise
DESCRIPTION
I really enjoyed creating this piece, which is the fifth of this series. I used some beautiful copper thread, (that I have been holding onto for the right moment) and a combination of different mediums, including collage. The textures are really luscious and the turquoise and earthy brown and copper work really well together. This piece has a lovely rustic feel about it.
MEDIUM
Acrylic paint, copper thread, handmade paper and charcoal on stretched canvas, sealed and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
SIZE
40cm (W) x 50cm (H) x 3.5cm (D)
ABOUT THE SERIES
I have to confess that for many years, I was one of those people who never quite "got" the 'Colour Field' artworks that often take pride of place in galleries. Mostly painted on huge canvases, with no real content to speak of, the artist concentrating mainly on colour and texture.
A few years ago, I was encouraged to look into this style of art and I have to say that I think it's quite misunderstood. Appearing simple, until you actually have a go at creating a piece and realise it's quite the opposite. I am currently in the process of painting a series in this style and I am thoroughly enjoying the challenge. Realizing that not all homes have large wall spaces, I have purposely chosen small to mid-sized canvases, whose content relates to each other, which I think can still make a contemporary space pop!
