Title “Window on the World” (Acrylic) 92x61cm
ABOUT THIS PAINTING:
This painting was awarded Highly Commended at the Rockhampton Art Competition. The painting describes a world that is polluted but with glimpses of clarity and hope. This painting evolved through over-painting. The sequence is shown in Figures 1,2, and 3. The underpaintings are relatively realistic and symbolize an enlightened meditative state of being. The final painting depicts the reality of the material world.
The painting sequence was also shown in the video by Natalija Brunovs called “Tanmayo – Abstract Artist” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ2MzRmoKBA and serves to demonstrate my painting process.
Artistic techniques used in the painting
The underpaintings are structured and balanced and because of this the more abstract final image still retains the balance that the earlier works showed.
I rarely sign my paintings because I like the flexibility of being able to hang a painting in which ever way it is best suited. Therefore the final painting “Window on the World” is vertical whereas the earlier ones are horizontal.
The title “Window on the World” serves the painting as a plea to humanity to be mindful of the damage it is causing to this world. In my opinion Abstract Art is the best way to convey abstract subject matter such as this. Would you agree?
