457.5 x 269 cm
This is a
painting I created during one of my work sessions. I wasn't really
thinking of anything, except maybe things that are going wrong with my life. My
drinking problem got a little worse and Lee has been talking to me about it.
The black
paint at the side of the studio appealed to me particularly that day. It
matched my mood. So I put on some of my depressing jazz I have for this
particular type of occasion and got to work. It was great to do what I am so
used to by now. I used a particularly large amount of wrist movement in this
one, trailing the paint as far as it would go.
This method of
painting let me vent out all my frustrations today, the excessive movements I used
exhausted myself. I like to think that these movements are my subconscious
thoughts trying to take a manifestation in the physical world, atop the canvas.
The surrealists probably planted that idea in my head. Miro would have been
proud of his legacy expressed in my paintings.
Feeling
accomplished, I mounted the unstretched canvas.
