Portrait Punk Expresstion 591
Portrait Punk Expresstion 591 Acrylic on Stretched 3D Gallery Canvas 40cm x 40cm x 4cm (16 inches x 16 inches x 1.5 inches)
This started out being just a portrait, then developed by combining the skyline of the City of London or New York, into the artwork, replacing most hair whole or in part. After experimenting further and liking the Surrealist, Salvador Dalí composition, it became more abstract style of hairstyles with shape and colour. Further the need to bring more colour and shape flower expressionist textures were added to the lower and plain colour background allowing the portrait to pop out and give a futurist modern and avant-garde feel.
The overall look and feel is quirky but interesting. Only Acrylic paint is used, as using oils in the portrait, although it would give a more lifelike impression, I wanted a more animated A.I. look. In fact, I quite like a more abstract illustrated fantasy portrait which is more comic aspired than traditional. This reminds me to loosen up-more Goya than Rembrandt.
It's a lively and fun painting in a square format with sides painted, bright and colourful. Textured and dramatic play of form, shades, light interact and play to add life and movement, complementing the juxtapositions of shape and form.
Thick and lush paint has a unique dimensional abstract quality.
We invented an artificial world with countless jokes, rites, and expressions that were quite unintelligible to others. Picasso.
