Alcohol Ink, Newspaper, Tissue Paper
h: 59 w: 42 d: 1 (cms).
Kitchen Table Arrangement is a painting created to capture the simple joy of bright, beautiful flowers sitting on a white kitchen tablecloth. The painting is comprised of many layers, starting with a backdrop of newspaper articles softened with pink tissue paper. The tablecloth has been created out of tissue paper applied with acrylic medium to create a soft, hazy appearance, glued to the reverse of the glass for 3D effect. Various acrylic mediums were applied prior to painting, to create textures and embossed shapes of stalks and pistils. The bouquet still-life was painted using many layers of alcohol ink straight onto glass, to mimic the translucent delicacy of petals. Mark-making tools were used to manipulate the ink and etch into the negative spaces to create shapes. A lot of patience is required to allow the ink to settle and create natural, organic shapes. The overall 3D effect comes to life with the combined layers.
£450 (As exhibited.)
