The Green Vase
This abstract acrylic painting on stretched canvas depicts a resplendent imaginary still life arranged in a mottled green vase. This artwork was created firstly using the alcohol technique which involves dripping alcohol into watery acrylic paint to create 'cells'. Thereafter another wash of watery acrylic paint has crumpled plastic film impressed into it and the outcome suggested the still life you see to me. More details can be found in this video. This fantastical still life riffs off of natural forms creating new possible flora - all arranged to dramatic effect in a green vase on a table. Soft pink, peach, purple and blue hues are offset against green foliage. The bold, expressive use of colour and form creates a dynamic composition, where the vase and its contents seem to come alive with energy, inviting the viewer to interpret the vibrant interplay between the abstract elements. This piece could, I think, comfortably be displayed alongside more traditional artwork and could take pride of place above a fireplace or similar.
