Yummy Lovers 5239 Acrylic

Yummy Lovers 5239 40 x 40 x 0.5 inches (100 x 100 x 2 cm) Acrylic on Stretched Canvas.
The lovers pose of the figures is simplified to its basic forms and shapes. Abstract shapes and pattern of colour, where the eyes are misplaced so that it is noticed and invites the viewer to search for the fragmented face.
The figures are painted in large single bold strokes with bright colours emphasized painterly qualities and strong shapes over the representational or realistic values retained by observation. Very little colour mixing is done, and pure tube colours are premixed, but are mixed on the canvas with every stroke producing the colour the Artist requires with a single stoke learnt over many years of mixing and painting.
The portrait pose is much more traditional, but more caricature to suit their expressions and exaggerations features of the pose.
Textured form, shades, light and shape interact and play to add life and movement, complementing the juxtapositions of shape and form.
Thick and lush paint has a unique dimensional abstract quality.
It is surprising how little information is needed for the eye and mind to make up the full picture. Highly pigmented, heavy body acrylic paint, using a creamy thick consistency of Artist viscosity colours unique to Acrylic and not available in oil paints.
