New Replete portrait, by Replete on Oct 8, 2008 15:31:29 GMT 1, Here's a new male portrait I've just painted trying out a new style.
It's entitled 'The Attraction Of Liquefaction" and is 24"x36" painted in oils, acrylic and spraypaint.
It's about the desire to become liquid and warmly melt and wash away to escape the confines of the flesh and the stresses of modern life.
It's the first time I've used oil paints and I experimented a lot with different techniques to get the effect I wanted.
I realy enjoyed painting this and plan to try similar techniques to create future pieces.
Hope you enjoy it,
Ta,

Looks like excess water or mineral spirits mixed with the medium -- creates a great textural quality!!

Love the use of colours and texture, and also what it stands for. I bet it looks quite stunning in person

New Replete portrait, by Replete on Oct 8, 2008 21:14:07 GMT 1, thanks for all the positive feedback. I liked the building up of the texture combining the oils with the acrylic and spray paint. Here's some close ups of the paint.
And it does have something in common with matt Small but it's just the fact it's an abstract portrait. Small's work has a very smeared look and technique where mine is comprised of dabs, flicks and drips.
The inspiration for it is actually my hero Francis Bacons work with such unsurpassed pieces as this:
I've started work on another piece in this style but I've evolved it a bit so should be a bit more of a mix of fully formed and looser parts.

New Replete portrait, by Replete on Oct 12, 2008 16:12:00 GMT 1, It's built up lots of layers of acrylics with the oils in spraypaint in different combinations.
And I'm experimenting with these at the minute so I wanted to try more detailed pieces as well as more abstracted to see the effect. I'm currently working on other pieces that are in both directions which I'll post up here in the next couple of days.

New Replete portrait, by Replete on Oct 13, 2008 17:49:46 GMT 1, Here's my latest portrait piece entitled "The Abcession Of AUxin" based upon the scattering of the forest's wealth in the form of it's hard earned leaves to be invested back into the soil for the next year's growth.
I've embellished it with metallic copper and gold paint which gives it a real nice lustre and added meaning to the piece
