Work 2 Colour

Updated: Jan 13, 2022

Acrylic, paints, paper on canvas, 100 x 100 x 4 cm.




Later I reworked it several times...




I decided to develop further my new "finding" with paper. The main interest for me here is the colour. The fact is that for many years at the time of describing the process of painting with oil, I have been making such a hand gesture



and only now I felt it just at the moment when I mix paint with paper. The paper dissolves, and the new mass appears, which is not a paint substance because this material is durable. It is not falling apart due to the connection within itself. It is not paper because I can change its shape. Why didn't I figure it out earlier? =(


As I said, I ran out of paper, so I started to collect newspapers from neighbours instead. It seemed to me very symbolic since Germans really read a lot of newspapers. And each gave me a solid stack of used newspapers. I thought that not only is the newspaper already a great source of information. But at the same time, the person read this piece of paper. The man held it in his hands, endowed it with his unique energy. Thus, in fact, my painting (object?) gets a kind of enormous energy charge created by many people.


Creative process





Inspiration


Chinese artist Zhuang Hong Yi uses rice paper to translate his ideas of beauty into his voluminous works. He is interested in the processes of the origin or renewal of life. So he looks for inspiration in his garden in the spring when the flower buds swell and gradually open. He brings that feeling of freshness and excitement to paint while creating flower arrangements from traditional Chinese rice paper.
