Sylthane: October 2014

Thursday, 23 October 2014. The object painting I decided on eventually involved abstract and geometric shapes. The inspiration was multi-layered going back to Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth to the present day with sculptural work by the late Sir Anthony Caro, Michael Buhrer, and particularly Charles Hinman whose work I particularly admire. The precision reminds me of the stones laid in Peruvian temples and the use of hard edges echoes the hard edge styling in motor car design. Found Text and Images.

Wednesday, 23 October 2013. PROPOSAL FOR ASSIGNMENT 1. I am so enthusiastic about the Mixed Media course at the moment that it is difficult to decide on the elements I want to use in the two paintings of my choice. My tutor, Richard Liley, kindly suggested two alternatives, Visual/physical texture and Coupage/Decoupage. I am particularly taken with the first of these suggestions and will produce something that uses texture influenced by. Artists like Rauschenberg, Tàpies, and Anselm Kiefer. As to the sec...

Sylthane: August 2014

http://sylthane.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 26 August 2014. I was inspired by Joseph Cornell's "Taglioni's Jewel Box" . It is a romantic piece of work with hidden depths beneath the ice cubes, with an inscription of the moment when the ballerina is said to have danced on a panther skin in the snow, for a highwayman who had stopped her carriage. For my recycled frame I decided to replicate one of the sketches I had produced in an earlier exercise. My intention was to produce something visually fairly plain but to have a narrative that ...

At the time of producing this piece I...
