An abstract monochrome watercolour painting incorporating a found object
Mixed media (watercolour and plastic). July 2018.
An abstract monochrome watercolour painting in which the watercolour resembles smoke eminating from a white circle.
The found object in the artwork is visible through a hole that is cut in the painting. The object is the mixing palette that was used for mixing the paint in the painting.
There’s a certain amount of humour in this (to me at least), as the found object was an incredibly convenient object to find. I just had to reach over and pick it up.
I like the way that the palette isn’t obviously a palette, as an obvious palette in an artwork is a bit self-referential and solipsistic.
