MODERN ART, ABSTRACT ART and LARGE CANVAS PAINTINGS FOR SALE

Prometheus is painted onto a 38mm gallery grade block canvas and measures 152cm x 91cm (60″ x 36″). He was created using oil based gloss paints individually thinned to give different characteristics. I used a number of different sized brushes to apply the strokes, working between two colours at any given time. This way I can mix directly on the canvas rather than on a palette or in a jar. I prefer to mix on the canvas as I get a more rugged and striking blend of colours rather than a uniform tonal change. The first picture gives a good example of what I mean

Well I can’t really offer any kind of meaning or help with this painting. It has a vertical and very balanced repetition to its form. The result is something I am very pleased with. It’s packed full of intricate stroke work, has bags of personality and is rammed with subtle colour tones. As you stand back the painting looks very well balanced and regular but closer up and it gets more busy and involving. This is what painting is all about for me – creating what is essentially two paintings in one.
