New Paintings : "Alleyway, 2014" , "Berwick Street, 2014" , "Deptford Market, 2014"
This is the general view of the overall piece
I started doing this with Bricklane Market #1 and #2, and i thought it was a change and made it look very interesting.
It can link to the streets of London as it has a similar visual appearance to a brick on a wall.
"Alleyway, 2014"
I was walking in london and i came across an alleyway that was kind of grim and dirty. No body gave it a second look, which i am not surprise but the artwork in the alleyway should be recognised. I used the images and text in this alleyway to create a painting that will look aesthetically pleasing, hopefully changing viewers minds and giving street art a second look whenever they see t in whatever situation.
I am rather fond of this piece, Many things worked well in this. The paint splatter gave it this spray can feel to it and freedom of expressing on a surface.
In the background i started painting texts that i found, then in the foreground i used this symbol.
"Berwick Street, 2014"
This was not a market nor an alleyway. It was a street.
I wouldn't say this piece was very successful but it was good that i did it, to learn what went badly and what went well
This compared to my other pieces feels less vibrant in colour use.
"Deptford Market, 2014"
This piece went the less successful
Very plain, simple, empty
Feels lost in text and colour
There is not as much depth in this painting because the background colour is similar to foreground image colours.
I will continually paint
Next will be more Brick Lane market paintings. I feel that this market had a brilliant balance between text and imagery. I went to do research there twice and did a lot of research!
