After my experience with Electrified, I wanted to keep the ball rolling, so I pulled this apartment show together. I was interested in taking a more minimalist approach this time around. I simplified my paintings by zooming in on small sections of other paintings, and using that as the basis for the next painting. My palette moved away from the primaries, and focused towards the tertiaries. Registration errors were made more prominent. I played around with the viscosity of the paint; going from thin and watery to thick like a drywall paste. I introduced pearlescent pigments. I wanted to see how far I could push this Urban Landscapes series, what would work, and what would not, and a non-commercial apartment showing was a great opportunity to do just that, and solicit feedback from my friends and peers.
