I finally made it to Linda and Carolyn's Exhibition in Black Asterick on Ponsonby road. I have been looking at Linda's work recently and have been interested in the ideology surrounding her practice. In the first couple of images, Linda has used four bottles of paint/ dye to produce four canvases that show the multiple tonal values that can arise. I'm not sure how linda manages to apply her paint so pristine on the canvas. You can see quite clearly that she has marked her grid with using a pencil, I wonder if she intended to leave the pencil marks on.
Looking at her work has given me the idea of working with colour by stretching its potential colour variations by only using 3 to 4 colours that are slightly similar to each other.
Below is Carolyn's work.
Linda's small canvases on the right and Carolyn's work on the left.
In the image above, paint was not applied on with a brush. Instead, it was poured onto the canvas. I love the texture that comes as the paint moves and dries on the surface.
