About this artwork
Creating an imagined weathered panel, with hints of human mark-making on a worn and textural surface.
The work is created using water-based paints, with a hint of metal-leaf, onto paper. The paper has been pasted onto board, then varnished. A thin white wooden frame has been added, to finish the piece.

« 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.
