Dear Actionists,
following the invitation of @aksinya (which she made in this post), here comes my entry of an action-painting I did with acrylic paint on cardboard yesterday evening.
Here are some details:
The Music
I started by painting the cardboard using black acryls.
The music, I was listening to, was one of my favorite Jazz albums from the Swedish jazz pianist Esbjörn Svensson, who sadly died in 2008 during a scuba diving session way too early. I basically started listening from 1:17 min with a song called "Premonition I. Earth", which is the first song at the vinyl album.
Here is the whole album at youtube:
Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Leucocyte
The process
You can see that I started dripping basic colors like red, blue, yellow and green on the black background.
Then I got this blurry colored background.
And even more colors.
Then I got this blurry colored background.
And even more colors.
After that I smudged the colors using a brush.
And started dripping colors again:
Until the song ended and I had this colorful painting!
Here it is again in full glory:
"Premonition", Acrylic on cardboard (2017), approx. 110 x 68 cm (43 x 27 inch)
Hope you like it - Thanks for watching!
