Chaos I - 20 X 16 Mixed Media on Canvas - Hyacinth Paul

Chaos I is part of a series where I tried using resin over the painting. The painting was created by using several techniques and has a three dimensional feel to it.

I am interested in the role of colors and their effects on people. This artwork has a strong color scheme and has textures that may intrigue a few. Textures are an important component of my paintings. This painting is a mixed media attempt and it is true to its title Chaos! The painting was done by introducing several layers of paint on the surface of the canvas. You will find several influences of the past in my paintings but I hope to give each painting of mine a different twist that is unique to me. Techniques like acrylic pour, marks created by different brushes and instruments as simple as forks, brush handles and palette knives are widely used in my paintings. The painting is then sealed in with resin and has since developed a shine or gloss due to the resin.
