Acrylic paint on paper) is an abstract expressionist painting that sets out to capture and understand his approach to modern action painting.
Making a decision to explore Kline’s calligraphic technique, The hard part for me in this painting was painting the white… Franz Kline himself pointed out when asked about his black paintings said “I paint the white too”. Despite being termed action painting he worked from compositional drawings and studies, often executed on the pages of old phone books which he referred to often throughout his process. I however did not make a parliamentary drawing, I just let myself go blank and let the painting happen. as I got close to finishing I Just felt that it needed some colour and even this small amount of colour, I feel enlivens and deepens the piece. although I have to admit that getting the right colour of white might have made a difference.
