Planter Painting
2013
13.5" x 10.5”
Acrylic Paint on Canvas
An expressionistic painting of a planter, created using acrylic paint and characterized by bold and expressive markings, vibrant colors, and a heavy application of paint. Aiming to convey the emotional experience of the subject matter rather than focusing on realistic representation.
In this painting, I distorted the size and scale of the planter to emphasize its significance or to evoke a particular mood. The use of vibrant and contrasting colors would further enhance the expressive nature of the artwork, allowing for a heightened emotional impact.
Texture plays a crucial role in this expressionist painting. The brushstrokes themselves would be energetic and gestural, reflecting emotions and intentions. They were applied with a sense of urgency and spontaneity, capturing the essence of the planter in a raw and visceral manner.
