For me this Abstract Painting feels like all the Magic of the world squeezed into one place literally vibrating  with energy and excitement while the bright colours, textures all contrast making the painting adding to the atmosphere and quality as though stepping through a door into warm buzzing electricity of a Nightclub heaving with movement, vitality and vigour and even the rich textured background    

Like the other paintings in this series it is inspired by the feeling that both the people and the environment have become enmeshed as a singular form where all the elements and individual have become indistinguishable in their own right and yet are bound one to the other dancing within a forest are

Painting Three Acrylic Studies

These Three Acrylic Studies painted as working study for a larger painting to be completed in oils on a large canvas that was lying around is one way to focus the mind and sort out those little problems of composition and colour. 

It not that I normally intend to frame and sell such studies but the effect of the three acrylic studies paintings looked fantastic as a set, Each original acrylic painting are about 30 x 40 cm and priced at £65 each, although I would happily sell all three for £150 which would make a vibrant and warm set of paintings that would compliment any home. 

Working Study 1

Working Study 2

Working Study 3

One of the main reasons for using acrylics Paints is the fast drying times allowing any artist to turn out a number of test pieces in paint that consider tone and proportions, although often transferring such an image onto a larger canvas can alter the overall painting considerably.

In this case the Canvas measures 100 x 120 cm which is about as large as I cam manage in my studio at Hylands House.  I have prepared the Painting with a thick and textured layer of Acrylic colour and allowed this to dry throughly, creating a fantastic surface that should shine through the finished painting. 

Acrylic Studies have a valid and important part to play in the process of painting and perhaps all three of these dramatic and visually pleasing acrylic paintings have been very useful in making the larger piece more successful as an original painting.

This New painting Process Developed over years of trial and error by the artist Mark Johansen has perfected a unique method of preparing an unusual surface on which to paint these fantastic abstract paintings.

By carefully Controlling the process of preparation Mark has created a painting surface that is highly absorbent and potently fragile, this however is Half the Charm of these unique Paintings, It take a good deal of Practice and Skill to get the detail and texture just right which is paramount for these Unique Abstract Paintings.

With different applications methods and approaches creates the fine cracks makes a crackle type finish or even smooth finish, if desired. In places he has even removed pieces of the boards itself and placed them in other arrears in the paintings adding to the Unique Character these Abstract Paintings have to offer any art lover.
