Splatt Theory - part the second

Mary Shelley meets Jackson Pollock

As the Glasgow commission continues, I deconstruct the splashes and splatters and, [taking bits from here and bits from there] reconstruct an Ideal Splash mwah-ha ha ha! [Hoist the lightning conductor, Igor, the storm is getting closer]

The final piece will be four canvases hung in a block with a gap between them it’ll be something like this:

The difficulty is maintaining the Spontaneity of the Splash whilst in amongst the acrylic paint with the small brush. I’m not happy with it yet, there’s still more work required before I set about the final piece.

And as a bonus Scottish Television are coming to film me flinging paint about.
