ZERO GRAVITY PAINTINGS

In my approach to painting, I try to manipulate factors that influence the final visual form of the work. In this case, I try to suppress the earth’s gravity, which is otherwise fundamental to my earlier approaches to the medium of painting (New Dripping). Here chance is maximised and artistic expression minimised. I present canvases that might seem familiar to viewers, but their physical form is deceptive. The key to figuring them out is the video that is part of the project.
