East Sussex Artist
This painting is on canvas and is produced by stretching a synthetic cobweb (these are usually sold at Halloween). Once stretched over the canvas you spray the cobweb with a small amount of water which allows you to smooth the cobweb on to the canvas. You can then spray through the cobweb with one or more colours. Once dry you can pull off the cobweb and as well as having the background colour you will have another colour where the cobweb has been removed. I then spray painted the planets using an air brush.
I am a self-taught and self-representing artist and for the last two years I have focused on creating interesting texture and layering techniques while still producing more conventional art works.
Using mixed media techniques I like to use a lot of different materials, these include Glue, Acrylics, Wall Filler, Spray Paint, Crayons, Pastels, Foil, Metal, Clay, Synthetic Cobwebs, Plexiglas and other new materials as they become available.
There is no particular philosophy to my work but what drives me to make paintings is the need to express my thoughts through the seemingly endless possibilities of colour. Painting fulfills my creative energies and my mind is always buzzing with ideas for future works, many more than I could ever produce.
Just like music you can’t always explain how or why a piece excites or moves you, so please enjoy my galleries and I hope that you find something that inspires or excites you.
