Layers

Acrylic and mixed media on canvas.

75x75"

A large-scale abstract and mixed media piece made up of approximately ten layers of paint: purples, magenta, whites, silvers and blues.

The colours are integrated with surprising mixed media elements and extra heavy gel, extra course pumice gel and other combinations of paint thickeners to give it a highly visceral, tactile look and feel.

I needed more room to paint this piece so I rented out the back of a Queen St. gallery to create it.
