Abstract Rainbow landscape 274

Acrylic on Stretched Canvas. 20x24x0.5 50x60x2cm

The painting is an abstract contemporary representation of Landscape. The colours, wild, thick and bold brush strokes.
Applied in an energetic and emotional way, vivid colours at odds with traditional realistic representation.
Surface abstraction, thus giving meaning to an arbitrary choice of colours and marks on canvas which has been textured and abstracted.
Sides are painted.

This artwork is panted alla prima, no pencil or charcoal sketching is done, and thick paint is mixed on the canvas, avoiding any mixing on the palette. What this archives is a highly saturated and abstract expressions painting. Far more interesting in texture and colours juxtaposed take and give to the other colour laid next to it.
It's truly exciting to paint which removes any stiffness and academic restrictions with every brush stroke made to count and express the contour of the face breathing live and accidental likeness which was not my priority.
Textured and dramatic play of form, shades, light 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.
