Gillian Ayres
Feeling starved of paint and colour at the moment, and in need of a vibrant painterly lift, I went looking for the work of abstract painter Gillian Ayres. Bright, bold, patterned and thick luscious paint, I love them.

Although I've seen her work many times Sandra, thank you for finding that film. I had never quite appreciated the scale of her paintings before that and what a fantastic application of paint. All those layers and colours oozing into each other. I watched it full screen like you suggested and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the camera gets really close so that you can see how thick some of the paint is. I am glad that you enjoyed it and thanks for your comment.
