The artistically placed palette colours onto A4 paper for “Unification of Colour #1” took me approximately twenty minutes.

With the beauty of its construction this reminds me of my earlier works Geometric Lines #1 & #2. Whereas acrylic paint in “Unification of Colour #1” forms the structure instead of ink and pencil in Geometric Lines #1 & #2.

The title for this work derives from the unification of peoples rather than describing political terminology. A unification transcending individual national colours.

Please note the choice of colours is not political, national or with any exact meaning. It merely represents the palette colours I had available at the time of my art working.

I encourage you to click on each image for closer detail. “Unification of Colour #1 -SolarScape” is a digital artwork derived from the original. I balanced the tones, contrast and brightness digitally for this artwork.

Whilst some digital artworks I make are purely experimental, I do feel digital artworks like these are limited edition giclees, lithographs and silkscreens for the future.

Both these works are as perfect as my artmaking gets, to me.

I photographed prewritten A4 paper at 2135hrs consisting entirely of charcoal pencil from an earlier working idea.

By 2312hrs on the 20th I had photographed the completed “cetacea” work with acrylic paint. I write this to give you an idea of just how fast I am working sometimes.

Here is the premarked paper:

Super glad I had the thought to photograph this A4 premarked paper prior to painting, see immediately above.

10101, 10101, 01010 is an ISBN style theme from earlier works in Pop Art Egyptian Rabbit with ISBN & Barcode. Albeit a different numbering code, visibly obscured in the painting.

“cetacea” asks questions with regards to the origination of life, entwined in the idea of secrecy and spiritual liberation.

“Gold Rectangular Frame with Red” (shown immediately above) is made in the same one-draft-only session with “Red Scratchpad” using a gold and cadmium red 50/50 acrylic paint mix.

The first photographs for both paintings [Gold Rectangular Frame with Red and Red Scratchpad] were taken at 0023hrs upon completion on 24th April including photographs of the two acrylic paint tubes used, for documenting purposes.

Quote ‘With the remaining deep red paint I made another quite phenomenal abstract immediately afterwards in the style of “Pseudo-Purple with Gold Frame” [29th March 2024]’.

I decided on the paint mix for “Red Scratchpad” and continued with this colour scheme for “Gold Rectangular Frame with Red”. The latter has two digital Versions entitled “Pseudo-Gold Monochrome Frame” and “Pseudo-Gold Magenta Frame with Purple”, see immediately below for both these:

Then the Purple version here:

“I kind of like this one, Bob, leave it” – screenplay quote from Batman (1989).

Why reference a popular violent movie?

I don’t know. Heat? Global warming? Manmade climate damage. Art is interpreted the way you perceive it. I didn’t have any specific theme behind “Gold Rectangular Frame with Red”. It does have an urgency within the artwork though.

I feel if we combine the red to be heat, the monochrome to be fossil fuels and the purple to be a psychopathic onslaught against planet Earth.. an intellectual theme is created as I write!

In keeping with themes here is my next work to share with you:

Clearly this is Abstract.

“Mapped Random Satellite {Day} #1” is literally a doodle produced by drawing pencil lines around random premarked acrylic paint likely made during my earlier work “Black Rectangle with Blue”. The latter included both silver and black acrylic.

As an electronic gaming enthusiast since my childhood I had just completed a virtual flight using a modern computing simulation of avionics.

Having a pencil at the ready following notation after my gaming I made a quick doodle around the premarked acrylic in the Notepad I was using! No preplanned idea whatsoever.

The title is derived by how I perceived the artwork, afterwards.

Quote – ‘What do you think of looking at this?’ [Asking with no information given regarding the artwork besides drawing around premarked paint]

– “It looks like tools“.

Maps are an integral part of aviation. The artwork is 100% pure chance.

nb I made a second Version as a digital artwork for this entitled “Mapped Random Satellite {Night} #1” here:

I felt “Mapped Random Satellite {Night} #1” had artistic value in context of beauty and symbology.

Incredibly by 100% pure chance the original has two adjacent runways with a ‘person’ sat on a seat as if viewing a computer, perhaps even directing aircraft either for ATC or military purposes?

You’re the viewer, you decide.

For me as an artist the original is one of the most ridiculous artworks I have ever made by chance.

As a bonus to blog Readers I thought I would include a previously unpublished acrylic work:

“10110101” is a direct number reference to Pop Art Egyptian Rabbit with ISBN & Barcode linked earlier in this blog article.

I hadn’t published this artwork up until now for no particular reason. It certainly has no gender specific or unspecific connotation.

Those knowing my youth will appreciate I was/am immensely technically interested in computers. Including the ability in my teens to write programs in computer languages to some extent. With (non-machine) code I could understand somewhat its intended purpose.

In my childhood family life and/or directly owned by me personally I had direct access to the ZX81, Atari, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 16, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Playstations 1 & 2 then three desktop PCs (as early as Windows 95) and two laptops.

Binary numbers always represent computing to me.

In this sense “10110101” is created as a cuneiform tablet as a pseudo-set of language rules.

The origination of written language academically, historically, culturally and genetically as a human race.
