Oil on canvas, 90 x 70 cm
I am working on a new series of oilpaintings.
90 x 70 cm
Well, let’s say, this one is also rather strange.
Finished Gaia-Pythia
Strange painting. Don’t know what to think of it, yet. But it surprises me. And that’s what I always tell my students: “Surprise Yourself!” So that’s probably a good thing.
DNA structures combined with this strange, ferocious woman. The beginning of the world, the Ëarth Mother”.
Oil on canvas. 70 x 90 cm.
Detail of a new painting, with Gaia as the main character. The painting isn’t finished yet, but I think the face will do (although it’s rather tricky, to show “work in progress”).
Out of her head (and eyes) DNA structures are “pouring out”. So see this as part One. There’s more to come!
And: “Die begin van die aarde”! (poem by Antjie Krog)
Oil on canvas, 70 x 90 cm (detail approximately 20 x 30 cm)
This painting, 130 x 160 cm, oil on canvas, was made during the period I worked on the painting Evolution 1 (painting of decembre).
It consists of a lot of different layers. Sometimes even with the same color (red over red over red over red). This technique (called “glaceren” in Dutch) makes that the colors increase in depth (sort of a velvet texture).
It’s very difficult to catch this on camera. But belief me, when you’re in front of this one, it almost seems possible to stick your hand inside the painting.
This is an old technique, used for instance by Rembrandt van Rijn, the famous Dutch painter (see example).
For this month, the painting Evolution 1 is in the picture.
It’s an oilpainting, 120 x 150 cm. Later more information.
I nice thing about having a blog, is that it gives you the change, to look back at all the art you’ve made in the past.
I found this image on my computer. A painting I made a few years ago.
