Crit discussion




Every time I have a crit, I like to review my notes and summarize it in a concise manner so that it is easier and clearer for me to see the main points as a whole before I make the next step towards my artistic trajectory.

Observations:
1) Colour- interplay of colour, tonal colour, combination of colours- how they interact with each other, mixing.

2) Printmaking- mirroring image, underlying of transferring images from one surface to another.

3) Transparency- Creates a distance between painting and surface.

Feedback from others:

The work is abstract, and there is a degree of control ( such as deciding where the paint goes). However, there is an element of chance when the layer has been flipped to create a shape merged with the layer behind it, resulting to an 'organic/ natural phenomenon'.

There is a sense of space from the lift.

Reminiscent of brain scans/ psychology tests. What do you see? Ideas surrounding perception (of colour)

It's Playful! ( A recurring adjective towards my work. ) with and element of mark making.

Deconstructing painting. Do I want to explore this territory? ( If so, how far?) Alternatively, I focus on colour and transparency.

Improvements/ Developments:
Possible way of shifting/ moving layers?

Research:
