Order & Chaos - Ellsworth Kelly ft Jackson Pollock

This piece presents work in the style of two of America's greatest abstract expressionists Ellsworth Kelly and Jackson Pollock - I have named it 'Order & Chaos'. The 'Kelly' sided is alternate raised board finished in the same colours used in the.....well chaotic 'Pollock' side!!!

Set in a real wood box frame behind glass and measures 33" x 25" x 2"

Pollock - drip painting

I have attempted a few of these in the past and it is fair to say that time erases the memory of just how much mess it creates!! However now finished this weekend I shall be spending much of my time repainting the walls and ceiling !!

Set behind glass in a real wood frame which is finished in black with gold detail.

31" x 26" x 2"

Watching paint dry!!

In between working on a commission and creating some new work for my 'Breaking the Edge' series I decided to let fly with the paint in the manner of Jackson Pollock! The images are excerpts of two sides of the piece which will be set in the frame shown - until the paint dries I am unable to stand it vertically or set it in the frame!! 

Now the clean up begins!!

'Breaking the Edge'

I have started a new series of work under the heading of 'Breaking the Edge' - this is a 20" x 16" working sketch to create ideas for the first piece which will be a large canvas.
