Abstract Form 1
'Abstract 1' is the first painting in the Abstract Form collection which began in January 2020.
Samuel has begun to experiment with adding shapes and patterns over his signature textured backgrounds.
Samuel's work has always had an element of colour blocking, however in this collection, you will notice the inclusion of shape and also the contrast of chaos and calm. The main colours used in 'Abstract 1' are dusty pinks and deep navy blue, on a graduated light blue background.
This composition also includes light yellow patterns and flourescent pinks and oranges which add an exciting element to the composition.
The edges are finished a deep navy blue to exaggerate the lighter, brighter colours in the painting. The surface of the painting is plaster on canvas which creates beautiful texture, casting different lights on the art work at different times of the day.
Abstract Form 1 measures 80cm x 60cm x 1.5cm and is made using clay and acrylic paints on a stretched cotton canvas.
