Description

« Painting from the series The intelligence of feeling. This painting series, whilst drawing on scape, is primarily defined by emotion and feeling. The Artist continues to explore the balance of spontaneity and considered control during the painting process, whilst remembering and considering absence, time, distance, vulnerability, loss and the notion of sometimes feeling lost….. the human condition. Parr uses pallet knife, brush and sponge building up layers of paint and charcoal and washing away in a process that becomes as important to remove as to add, a kind of reverberation of relationship with the canvas of addition and subtraction, push and pull. The Artist intends to create something that is ambiguous, chimerical, organic and elemental. Signed and dated on the side of the canvas the painting is ready to hang. The canvas is deep edged 4cm which shows small signs of the working process to the canvas.
