And here we the other side of formal. This is 2008 work. This is number 1 in a series of six small paintings.

This is the point when formal abstract expressionism became just abstract expressionism. I’m still hanging on to the basic structure at this point because I’m not sure how to handle that side of things but I’ve let go with the brush at least.

Weird one

This is called Weird one because weirdly it has sat around for about a year with just a tiny amount of work needed to finish it. Unfortunately it was overrun by some new work and didn’t look like it was going to make it over the line, however, it is a significant painting because it shows a key transition in my work from formal abstract expressionism to just regular abstract expressionism without the formal element. Anyway, weirdly I decided to finish it and so here it is!

Here is what’s on the wall at the moment. Two or three small experimental pieces and two of the large series of six I have still not finished.

After sometime away this is what’s on the easel at the moment. This piece is not quite finished.

It is the first painting I’ve produced that tries to fuse formal abstract expressionism techniques with more traditional straight abstract expressionist methods. I’ve also introduced z ordering for all you programmers out there

This painting is going to fail but I have high hopes the methodology is sound and will usher in a new series of paintings.
