numbered I to C, aka chromatids, 2008-2009
chromatids: the two strands into which a chromosome divides during cell division; origin, from the Greek ‘khroma’ meaning colour and id (an abbreviation of identity rather than id, of impulse or instinct)..
four more small abstract paintings on paper from the chromatids series..

it’s all about sensing & seeing colour…
here are a few more of the small abstracts from the same series, hanging out to dry in the studio…

my primary aim in this series was to explore visual relationships in both surface texture & colour, and they were created in sequence but on a reduced scale – small, tactile colourscapes or studies that suggest abstract fragments of landscape or colour samples from the environment but are only identified by a reference number, a process inspired in part by the coded synthesis of genetic dna maps and product barcodes…

thank you for looking…

aha… if you have scrolled down this far, then may i introduce to you three very small abstract paintings on postcards…
untitled I, II & III , 2010
wax, bitumen, emulsion & acrylic on paper, mounted onto postcards
i received these back from the little postcard art exhibition at the king’s lynn arts centre – thus, perhaps starting a tradition of giving away these small exhibition remainders – all three are up for grabs, yes absolutely gratis…
to be in with a chance, just show your interest by leaving a little comment below (your contact email is not published or shared but is required to authenticate the comment)…
distinct from my previous art giveaway, this time just ONE WINNER will be selected at random after the closing date of 1st september 2010 to receive ALL THREE postcards…
the winner will be contacted by the email they have provided and will then need to provide the necessary contact information by return for the postcards to be dispatched to them.
thank you for reading and good luck…
