Watercolour pencil art – Organic Matrix
Watercolour pencil on paper. 20 x 29cm January 2024
A painting, created with watercolour pencils, depicting a network or matrix of organic forms linked by tube-like structures.
The work is from the imagination (as you can see), and although it wasn’t created with any particular meaning in mind it probably alludes to the connectedness of life, with the blobby entities being connected to each other by the tube-like structures. I’m not sure whether the blobs are meant to look like slightly unsettling organisms or wonky potatoes. Probably both. The work may allude in some way to the nature of consciousness or intelligence, with the entities possibly communicating with each other like cells in a brain.
A work on paper created using Caran d’Ache Museum Aquarelle watercolour pencils, which have a very high pigment content.
