Singularity

Colours and forms

Singularity is a contemporary original painting that was created with a small bucket of paint with a hole in the bottom of it. Into this went a series of white and gold paints (for the the first layer) followed by pink and gold for the second. The bucket was suspended from a piece of rope and swung over the canvas.

Pripr to this, the canvas was base coated liberally with a beautiful combination of dark blue, pink, black and silver. This has melted into a rich and deceptively welcoming background – the perfect backdrop to the most beautiful expression of art and physics you’re ever likely to see.

A tale of two halves

As this painting is made up of a background and foreground it’s very much a fusion of two things. The bit that ties them all together is the pink – featuring on both layers. This small, yet sigificant additon is so subtle you can almost miss it. But it’s there for a reason and just pulls everything togehther.

I don’t know if it’s the black hole in the cntre or the complex shapes and lines that surround it that I love the most as I find the whole thing utterly compelling. It has an asrtist’s eye cast upon the mathematical probablities of motion and the laws that govern them and that is something I revel in. I love being able to take the forces that govern our everyday existence and mess arond with them to get somehting to work out the way I see it in my head.

This really is one fo those paintings that captivates. It may not be the most technically comlicated canavses i have ewvrr done or the most colourful but it makes up for that in heaps with its pure, unadulterated celebration of how incredibly lucky we are to be on this wonderful planet.
