INTRO
MY DEFINITION- bold expressive applied spontaneity of visceral feelings unpredictable & evolving organically.A physical engagement of energy & emotions in & of the moment processed in a sense of chaotic immediacy
SOME MY GESTURAL ART EXAMPLES -2024/25
A poetic definition
gestural abstraction immediate spontaneous drips blobs from the tube non-formal un-formulated
art informel sans cérémonie an absence of a premeditated structure conception or approach dribbled splashed smeared an emphasis upon the physical process itselfA practical guide:
ARTWORK EXAMPLES as above from summer of 2024
This is how I describe my process-
CUT-OUTS
a couple of 'shaped coloured paper cututs,randomly dropped from a height,(a la Arp)but
were not completely to my taste..so.
.I moved on to my own random/spontaneity style of pure chance.
GESTURES
A.Using a hand held clip board with paper( no greater than A4 ) as an underling work board
upon it used a 6 pack of 'primary paint sticks(no smudging/quick drying,no brush or water for 4+ & upward)
to experiment therewith randomly ,,exploring abstractly with the 6 colours,on smaller sized paper
,not caring if I overlapped etc etc on the underlaying paper.
Often using the 'sticks' & other media tippex,pencils biros...whatever can to hand.
B.Sometimes using using the smaller artwork to rub when wet randomly upon others to create 'spontaneous' effects.
C.Often cutting out shapes therefrom that appeared to me as something animals faces or whatever.
