This acrylic painting is from my new series "Pixel
Paintings." In this series, I explore the designs created with cellular
automata. This painting is the first large piece in the series,
although I did several smaller pieces to get my technique. This series
will have at least four large paintings, hopefully more.
In this
series, I am trying to achieve a sense of rhythm, repetition, order and
chaos. I am trying to create a balance between organic and geometric.
Each
pixel has many layers of paint, making the colors rich and complex.
The colors are mostly greens and blues, but there are lots of warm
colors in there for depth and contrast. I had been working with beads on similar designs, but found that I wasn't getting the depth and variety of color I wanted. So I switched to paint. Also, I wanted to make it big enough for a wall, and size 11/0 seed beads just weren't big enough.
20" by 30", unframed. The sides are painted dark gray so it doesn't need a frame.
