Experimenting with Acrylic Painting and Collaging
Added 2024-09-25 20:35:00 +0000 UTCHi guys :)
Today I wanted to share a couple of paintings that I did in the past week or two. I haven’t practiced any form of physical art in a long time, let alone painting, and I was really itching to try some new things. I’ve been really inspired by oil and acrylic painting with mixed media lately, so I tried making a couple things of my own as a therapeutic practice and for fun. I’m a huge fan of the oil painter Francis Bacon, and there’s another artist I follow on Instagram that I’ve also been loving lately named Tyler Scully (@specters_art). These experimental pieces are pretty directly inspired by those artists, and I had a lovely time making them. My favorite is definitely the middle painting, which was the most recent one I made, so that shows some good improvement! These are quite unsettling, which is sort of par-for-the-course with this style, but I think I was mostly able to convey what was in my head. Been battling a lot of juxtaposing feelings lately, and it was really nice to sit and make something out of those emotions, especially through a new artistic medium.
Have you guys ever made things with these materials before? If so, I’d love to see!
Sincerely,
Casey

i like the sense of movement in the first one, it makes me see fishies swimming in like a stream of water thats being waterbent or something lol. im also curious what the other two represent, especially the last one with the ear. I feel like the ear somehow represents hearing or perception. since its so big on the little guy maybe he's overstimulated or just overperceiving things in some way. you did a good job incorporating the collage elements as well, they feel like they belong inside the painting.
