GESTURAL ABSTRACTION

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   itself

A 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.

D. also if on one of the underlying pieces of paper(  that I had used as a base on my clipboard)  appeal to me I keep it as a minimalistic happening.
