"A Light Ruffling"

by Mark Aspinall · Crotone, IT

Inspired by the sea. The surface of the water ruffled by a swirling breeze. Nitro Paints on a sheet of acrylic. Realized using A technique invented following a winter illness of a strong bronchitis in which I had to pass hours taking intravenous antibiotics morning and evening – I realized I could adapt the tube and needle principle to trail thick liquid color. The colors are built up in thickness layer over layer then sanded back to reveal the stratification, just as in cutting and polishing a metamorphic marble such as Travertine. In this occasion I have left the surface slightly undulating.
