About the painting

Gradiate is a large sized abstract painting that’s made up of multi colored stripes. It’s a very bright and positive painting and one that really sits well with my own sense of order and correctness.

That’s not to say that being anything other than composed and organized is bad, far from it. What I’m hinting at is that there’s a place for every kind of art and every kind of expression – Gradiate is simply a recognition of a time and place where I needed order and regularity.

Bad behaviours

Lines and stripes could be perceived as being too uniform and tidy to form any real kind of energy or storyline. I disagree with that completely – in fact, through the act of creating a painting like this, the stripes are quite unruly and often disobedient. They seldom keep tot heir planned trajectory and are never actually straight!

That’s right – they’re not straight. None of them are in fact. Sure, you get the illusion of them being this well-behaved collection of colours but I can assure you that they are not. It’s like juggling jelly some days, it really is – just impossible.

Then there’s the question of colour placement and what should go where. It requires constant thought and adjustment and one small error or a wayward pour from the top edge and it’s game over. That’s how precarious I find the process of painting lines. The quest for the perfectly straight striped painting has always eluded me but I shall keep trying. This is good though, it’s pretty close.

The end result

The overall feeling of the painting is a sunny one. It has a warm disposition and will never leave you cold. As it nestles towards the yellow/orange end of the spectrum it’s perfectly suited to any environment where there’s blue or other features of orange. It can work with wood tones as well as stone finishes too.

It’s shown in both portrait and landscape orientations in the photos and I think it works equally well in either. So, if there’s a stairwell in need of a burst of sunlight then this could just be the ticket… See also Coaxal Disarray

The outcome

The result of all of this effort is a painting that delivers on every level. Its bold and bright whilst also being deep and thoughtful. it has rivers of paint everywhere, it has texture it has detail and it has impact. Whatever space this occupies it absolutely owns it – and in a good way! it’s ability to fit in is quite remarkable and that’s down to the combination of colors. Its earthy, natural side helps keep it grounded whilst the energetic and playful side keeps your eyes entertained endlessly.

Add a coupe of spotlights however and the painting reaches even higher levels of intrigue as the metallics start to pop. The nuances of color also begin to show as well as the incredible levels of detail. It’s hard for me to sound objective because I painted it and I love it but I assure you that this is an absolute belter of an artwork.

Hanging options

You may have noticed that I have shown it hung in different orientations on the photographs and that’s because you can hang this in any way you want – even as a diamond. The painting feels different each time you rotate it so you can change the dynamic at any given point to suit your mood or taste.

So if you’re looking for a conversation piece or something to fill up that large empty wall space you have then this would be an excellent place to start. Oh, and it’s also named after the seminal album by Joy Division in case you’re wondering…
