This is a night painting of the view from Rachel's balcony that I started before self isolation . As(or while?) measures are relaxed a bit I can try to get it done. It's oil on canvas. The UV colours are handmixed from pigments, as I can't find them in an oil paint tube.
Like the other fluoro paintings I've put together of the past several months it was to go in "Out of the Dark", a show Ben Cahill and I were to put on at Chrissie Cotter from May 12 until a couple of days ago, but which was blown away by COVID19.
I've been refamiliarising myself with Blender, the 3D editor, and will soon put together a virtual mock of the paintings emitting light in a model of the gallery space which I hope to continue developing until we can put on the real show.
At first move a camera around to create a video walkthrough loop of the show, then use blender's game environment to hopefully create a freer-form viewing experience
I worked till my lamp died the other night getting this ready to show next week in the Spark, my studio show on the 17th July

Earlier versions of the paintings are here.
Now gatherings of a certain size are allowed I'm putting on a show for some of the "out of the Dark" paintings at the Junkyard Studio in early or mid July.
ReplyDeleteSome of the exhibition space is semi-outdoor and there's a yard so we should be able to put on a socially distanced opening without turning people away.
I'll toss a couple of dates around in my head tonight then make an announcement on this blog somewhere and create an event
