Concept sketching for the illustration "Static" based off Mary's poem of the same name...at least that's what it's called in my notes so.... (Mary tell me if I'm wrong) 😬 The first few concept sketches can be really messy and sometimes only make sense to me...maybe... This one is surprisingly clear for a first attempt ⚡️ •the artist• - - - #sketch #sketchbook #conceptart #conceptsketch #thinkingthroughdrawing #lightning #static #glitch #art #illustration (at South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnVLlKrFViD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bp5dpgl7sl6p

The #firstcoffeeoftheday came with a thought. How much time Banksy would take to paint one of his rats or monkeys? Minutes, if not seconds, right? A couple of days ago I mentioned that Leonardo took 3 years to paint his Saint John the Baptist. Now, what’s the point? I don’t know but I believe is good to think about it. Very often I find myself thinking (sometimes struggling) about connecting apparently unrelated things. “Yeah, Mauro, I guess you have a lot of time to use in your hand” Fair enough, but not really true. Yes I have some time (read commuting) I can use to think and as time is a scarce resource for me I need to make the most out of it. Indulging in “canned thoughts” ban be ok but I found that putting myself in a corner is the best way to keep my creativity and curiosity flowing.

Outburst, The Process

This is by far the most successful piece I've completed as yet.  I have had some wonderful comments and I have even received an offer from somebody who would like to buy it!  Of course, I will be hanging onto it for now, but it is very exciting to think that somebody actually wants to buy and own my work.

While making Outburst, I took a lot of photos for documentation.  I am going to sum up the processes and decisions that got me here.

1)

This is the origin of the idea.  It was born on a blank page in my sketchbook out of cardboard, acrylic and acetate.  I loved the effect of manipulating paint into a solid object.  After realising how so many of my paintings and art pieces seemed to be breaking boundaries, I knew I had to do something with framing an image and allowing it to burst out of the frame.  I envisaged this effect in a real picture frame, and thought about how I could do it.

2)

I bought a picture frame.  It was relatively small, but it was all I could really afford.  I also knew that I needed a lot more material which might be costly.  The frame seemed big enough for my needs and I took it to the workshop to ask about how I might go about fabricating a smash in the glass.  Martin was very co-operative and suggested swapping the glass for acrylic, cutting a hole with a jigsaw, and then melting the edges to create the energy I wanted.  Once assembled, I thought the effect looked fantastic.  I took it back to the studio.

3)

I began to create the image which would go behind the frame.  Because of the concept I had already done in my book, I knew that the image wasn't that important as the eye is drawn to the paint coming out of the frame rather than the image behind.  It took several attempts to come up with something I liked, and here it is.  I actually worked more into it than it shows here, but you'll see that later.  The colours all moved to the bottom corner where I wanted the burst to be.  I didn't want to burst to be too central or symmetrical.

4)

Here are the wires I painted to put onto my piece.  They are flower arranging wires, coated in paper.  I bought two different sizes of wire.  The thicker ones, that you can see here, need a pair of pliers in order to manipulate them, but the thinner ones can be twisted by hand.  I painted a few first, but soon found that it was more effective to put the wire into position and paint it while it was attached to the frame.

5)

I attached most of the wires through a small hole in the paper.  They were bent so that they would not come out, and then acrylic was applied over the top of the hole.  Eventually, as the acrylic hardened, it acted as a glue.  I began to pierce wires through the acrylic and wrap them around other wires for support.  The result is relatively sturdy, and I think that as long as people don't tug on the wires too hard, they will stay in position!

6) 

This was the last photo I took on my first session.  It is unfinished here, but already beginning to take shape.  I have added splatters onto the glass which seems to give the piece a lot of energy.  I decided that the piece lacked white.  The colours, bright as they were, needed some kind of highlight on them to keep the paint looking shiny and wet.

7) 

And here it is.  The next day I added more wires, more paint splatters and some white highlights to the piece.  I had it mounted on the wall.  Successful?  Definitely.  I am very happy with the way the piece looks and many people are excited and interested by it.  The only thing that I would have done differently would be to choose a larger canvas, perhaps extending the installation into a room, including paint splatters on the wall and floors.  But in the time given, and with a low budget, I'm pleased with this.
