INFINITY STUDIES
2021 - Acrylic on Board (30 x 40 cm)
These were the first explorations in my geometric ‘Infinity’ series working from a strict rule of 5cm x 5 cm grid design where no one colour is the same next to itself.
Lessons learned though, painting with cheap acrylic paint onto wooden board as every time I peeled the tape up after drying, it would mostly lift off parts of the colour !!!! So frustrating and I would redo whole sections again and again (hence the title). These two small works took forever to complete and you can still see masking errors if you look closely.
Subsequent works after these two , were painted on canvases with better quality paint and tape.
Overall though , it is about achieving an aesthetically appealing geometric design through the use of colour.
