#004 “Absquatulate”

Title: “Absquatulate”

Description:  "Absquatulate" is a painting that features a stunning Irish Atlantic Sea blue background, with a bold splash of blood red thrown on the canvas by LCAR. The painting may appear to some viewers as an 8 or a Z, or perhaps something else entirely, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The meaning behind the painting is open to interpretation, but the abrupt contrast between the blue and red colors may suggest themes of sudden change, urgency, or even violence.

Medium and technique: The painting has been created using acrylic oil paint. The background has been painted using a scapel, which involves using a sharp tool to scrape off layers of paint to create texture and depth. This technique is also known as sgraffito, and it can create a unique and interesting effect in a painting. The use of acrylic oil paint allows for layering and blending, which can create a smooth and cohesive look despite the textured background. Overall, the use of the scapel technique in "Absquatulate" adds an intriguing dimension to the composition.

Priming method: Additionally, the original artwork was shined using a combination of coconut,olive oil and essential oils, which not only enhances the vibrancy of the colors but also adds a subtle sheen to the surface of the canvas.
