graffiti abstract

Concept

I'm a intuitive abstract artist, modern artist. I like the immediacy of abstract painting . I love moving the paint on the canvas with usually a trowel or pallet knife. I love the physical nature and the spontaneity of my paintings .I leave a fairly thick impasto on the canvas to create a nice texture to my work. I feel texture makes for a more interesting looking painting. Kind of a sculptural feel to the work. I work with a multi layer style building my painting up in usually 3 stages base middle and top coat of paint. I use tape during the various stages to reveal the previous layers of paint and block out new applied layers . I usually prefer to use neon and bright colours in my paintings. I do however appreciate a dark minimal textural painting from time to time. I'm trying to push the boundaries of abstraction . I want to create unique interesting modern artworks . I m striving to learn and borrow from the past but looking forward to create my own extreme brand of abstraction .
