About this artwork
This small picture is made from a single piece of painted paper, laid on board then varnished.
It has two squares cut out in the middle and swapped around.
The revealing of the colours underneath is subtle, with the majority of the surface being soft tones in a vertical brushstroke pattern.

« The creation of highly textural abstract works that leave space for the viewer to add their own interpretation. »
The textural effects inherent in Alan James Mcleod's multi-layered works evoke worn and weathered surfaces. Inspired by decorative architectural details and artifacts, they contain their own multidimensional histories. Mcleod's mixes gouache and water-based paints onto paper, often using a rubbing of clear wax between layers, then scraping to reveal what lies beneath. He also joins papers, edge to edge, or collages his pieces together.
