Description (oil on board,year 2002)
This actually started off as another one of my landscapes...but somewhere on the line I didnt like the "idea" anymore .I didnt care to make this one as a piece that would make a lot of sense..thats what it is- an absence of meaning.
but perhaps you CAN find a "meaning" in it?Well..do let me know

dont mind the expression, but this says to me "fuck you modern art!"
i dont mean that at all in a bad way. it's like you took something so simple, spilt bleach on it and called it a day.
it's really cool because i can't really tell you what i feel or see in this piece. it's very mixed and interesting! i like it though because i have never really seen anything quite like it before! nice work

I like this one. The apple looks really cool, and the paint all over the place jsut appeals to me. It's what I end up doing to my peices when I get frustrated with them.

fraxyl [2005-04-11 16:16:18 +0000 UTC]

I like this, though it's kind of a small image... what are the dimensions of the original?

I had an idea, though I'm not sure how well it would work, but if you used the splats as a mask and have another image show through where the splats are, y'know? ... like a blue sky with whispy clouds or something.

Hooray!

Adnil In reply to fraxyl [2005-04-11 17:33:33 +0000 UTC]

the painting itself isnt very big ...its 47x36 cm( aboot 18x14 inches)

thanks fer the idea !

fraxyl In reply to Adnil [2005-04-13 04:37:32 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. 18x14 is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It's larger than A4 at least. Did you photograph it to get it on here?

Adnil In reply to fraxyl [2005-04-13 09:45:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah,its almost twice as big as A4.
And yes..i photographed it.Its on a wooden-board,so i couldnt scan it

aliska [2005-04-10 19:52:25 +0000 UTC]

This is simply appealing. It's an interesting idea, it's slightly surreal, just a bit abstract. The interaction of colors and the paint splatters is great.

naumatt [2005-02-25 21:54:37 +0000 UTC]

I think this must be my favorite of yours. The painting itself is excellent (I wish I knew enough about traditional painting to tell you all the reasons why! I'll just settle for the way it makes me feel). What I love about it is the splatter over top. Against the gentle colors and soft feel of the background painting, the harshness and erratic feel to it make me feel unsettled in a very cool kind of way. Thanks!

I see an apple...the questions about this apple. so many, cannot deny there is an apple somewhere in this intriguing abstract painting....what is the meaning of this apple? is it intended for me to think this way....about this apple? or does it make me want to eat an apple....I shall never know.

Adnil In reply to grimmevil [2005-02-24 08:50:27 +0000 UTC]

yeah..the APPLE.
Thing is..thats why I named the piece "Absence Of Meaning"..hehe.Cause in a lot of ways,it doesnt make any sense..does it?

jovegathering [2005-02-20 23:34:29 +0000 UTC]

i love the thrown around paint, it gives the painting a strong depth, and a dreamish feeling,
it has an atmosphere i want to float around in...
it also makes it looks somewhat aged...

cheers!

Green is used very well. I am bad at making green. How have you done it?Is it ready-from the tube?I always mix paynes grey and various yellows but then all my greens appear dull.
I like the composition as well with the three layers and red to break it.So too the smudging - it gives a sort of antique look to it all.
Not to criticise, but only that leaf-like shape at the top of the red crcle looks a bit incongruous, in the sense it is too weel-formed. Just my thought.
