'Untitled series' 2010
Oil on Acetate
3 paintings 4cm x 7cm approx
Medium upon this surface gave a shiny residue. They have potiential to become a series and move people in a greater amount. The paint in the background has been rubbed away to show the image underneath. Posing the question why paint on photographs? I liked these images and thought they could really work. When a passive comment was made about how it takes you on a journey thought this could be an interesting idea to play with.
On approach to work the viewers pushed to see them. How can I create an image that many can observe at the same time?
The work became black and white as I wanted to experiment how a lack of colour can alter visual aesthetics of an image. They did not warm to the images as I had hoped but maybe this is because there is no narrative or cryptic to untangle. Need substance for Black and White images.
