End of year 2012 setup.
Final work for assessment 2012.
These two pieces will be shown for my end of year assessment. They will be shown next to each other. I have become increasingly interested in very transparent water coloured painting, where the background is quite important in the painting. I like the forms that I am creating that are quite life like or organic like and people can kind of relate to the size of the paintings. Because this is the end of the year and I have only just found this interest, I made the smaller water colour paintings to try out the idea more in the short amount of time that I had. I am defanitly interested in carrying on with this in the holidays and possibly in my last year of university to expand on this. These two large paintings are only just the start of hopefully a larger series and investigation.

I made this series of small water colours in response to my newest large paintings that I will be showing for my assessment. They are kind of like little testers of colour and form. They are quite personal due to their small size. I am pleased with the way that they turned out as this is a new idea for me and as its the end of the year, it helped refine it a little bit in a smaller amount of time. I will be carrying on with the ideas that I have found in this way of painting.

These two paintings are possibly just in their starting stages. Im not sure yet.

These three paintings were made in response to the previous three larger paintings that I made. I am interested in making a painting with depth and layers. These three paintings seem to be more successful in terms of their depth as the colours are more transparent and seem to sink back.
They look almost like some sort of bodily organs, not human.

I enjoy working in profile style as I feel there is more of a relationship to the viewer.

These three paintings were an investigation into space and depth. I was also exploring my interest in vibrant colours.

I like how you can see the background colours through the foreground as the paint over top is quite transparent. This adds depth to the work, but not as much depth as I would like.
I have also started to become interested in forms and shapes that seem to take over, go through, go over, move around or on each other. Almost like some sort of organic sci-fi aliens.

With this painting I was really interested in colours that vibrate when placed next to each other. There are areas in this painting which do this with the green and the orange. I like how there is one main focal area and that area is full of colour. It enlivens the surface.

Tape, clip, and acrylic paint on folded A4 sheet of tracing paper.
|
With this piece, I painted bright vibrant colours on the tracing paper. I felt bored with the A4 portrait shape of the piece, so I decided to form something else out of the paper. Its interesting where the tracing paper over laps its self and you can see the other colours underneath it. It creates new combinations of colours and shapes. I didn't want to use much black paint so I instead put on some black shinny tape, and instead of using white I put some white thread through the middle of the tracing paper. I think that the reason for not using white and black paint by themselves was because I prefer vibrancy and to be a colour. I like the black and white being more object like.

I prefer the painting above done on the tracing paper because the colours fade and blur. Here they are just as I painted them, folding it doesn't make it more interesting.

My interest lies with colour and shape with the painting above. I was using colour and shapes intuitively, with a free flow of paint from my paint brush. I don't like to plan out what I am going to paint as I find these random forms very intriguing, and planning them may cause me to use them in a representational way.
Even though I try to move away from representational forms in this way, the spectator will always try and make a familiar representational shape out of it for themselves. Maybe it makes them feel more secure about the paintings as they can be quite unrecognizable.

This painting above was created in a investigation into colour and its vibrancy. I was trying to use green and red to make a vibrating kind of effect with rougher brush marks placed next to each other along side quite docile pastel colours and forms. This painting has not felt very successful to me yet, perhaps it's because this is the start of a new idea for me. I will probably carry on with this painting, it doesn't not feel completed just yet.

Some more recent paintings. Colour and shape being the main interests in them.

Closer view.
At arts talk week some of the feedback that I got from the critique was:
*that it almost looks like patterns that you may see on clothing.
* Similarities to mid century painting.
*They were interested in why the painting had not been stretched.
*They felt as though the colours were quite like undercoat colours and that they have a dusty sheen to them.
