About this artwork
For the second part of the 'Winter & Spring' diptych, bright colours have been used to provide an impression of the new growth that is associated with that season. The aim was to illustrate the transition from winter to spring by leaving one side of the canvas (the ‘winter’ side) sparser and more desaturated, fading into a richly-textured and brightly-coloured abstract landscape that evokes small flowers and berries against a backdrop of bright,…
natural greens.
In the creation of ‘Winter & Spring’ it was important that some white should show through the splatter layers. For this reason, the paint mixtures were splattered directly onto the unpainted white canvas. The areas of white that show through help to create the desired ‘wintery’ effect, while also helping to isolate some of the splatter-marks so that they can be better-appreciated for their formal qualities.
Like all of the paintings in this series, 'Spring' benefits from strong angled sunlight or spotlight illumination.
