Facial Recognition

Random Acrylics
(40 x 40 x 1.5cm)

Pleased to launch 'Facial Recognition’ as part of the 'Monochrome' Collection. Only the second black and white to be attempted, but look closely and you’ll see numerous faces peering back at you. What eventually gets revealed from just two colours is what makes random abstracts really special. At no time did I decide to incorporate faces into the finished product.

The white canvas was treated with various techniques that made use of the black paint. A used cardboard tube impregnated with string created the lines on the base before the end of the tube created circular shapes, some with distortion by swiping the tube across the canvas.

A plastic card created vertical lines then smeared blocks to the left and right. A spatula followed to create smeared shapes and to enhance the edge of the canvas. Finally, white was poured down the canvas and texture created using a comb.

Only then did it reveal several faces such as a dolls, caricatures, comical, ghostly, historical and more besides. I see something different every time I look at it and so will you.

Add to the cart if you wish this unique abstract to be a talking point in your home or place of work, Go on, dare to be different – Go Random!

Thanks for looking.
