Parallel Project – Further paintings examining corrosion and ageing on machinery

A further two paintings which examine the impact of time passing on painted machinery. With both of these paintings I have tried to interpret the image in my own way. I have toyed with the texture of the paint to create interest in the surface of the painting. Zooming into the subjects has created abstract images which have a form without revealing their identity. I am finding that this juxtaposition of form, paint and colour is resulting in paintings that are both challenging and interesting to explore.

The first painting is on canvas paper, 25 x 20 cm painted using Aqua oils.

The second painting is on acetate, 20 x 29 cm, painted with both acrylic and aqua oils.

The focus of my Parallel project has moved in a direction that I wouldn’t have originally predicted. I await feedback on this.
