I decided to use these two players who I had been longing to paint for a quite a while.
I can't remember the origin of the music but I remember sketching a man on the tube and then I got talking to him and he invited me to an art exhibition where music was played alongside. This is quite a while back but I still remember the happy, colourful feeling and the buzzing sounds, I have tried to capture this in "Duet" which is a mixed media piece on Gessoed Museum mount-board with oil, coloured pencil, Liquin and oil pastel,. It was more of an experiment as I haven't tried this mix before. I was happy with the result. Hope you like it Edward.
It's fantastic! And the feeling of joy does come through. It's got great vibrational energy (good vibes!). I love your mixed media explorations. But then again, I think you could create magic in any media.
ReplyDeletewell done!
Yes, I agree with Liz.
ReplyDeleteThis piece is so dynamic and vibrant, It feels as though the notes are becoming colors. LOve it
This is outstanding and Liz said it all so well. It also has a very abstract quality to it that I love; very, very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Adebanji. I love the dynamic composition. I am very pleased to have this in my book, thank you, Adebanji.
ReplyDeleteReally visually exciting and I like the way the colors shoot off the instruments -- one can really imagine lively jazz playing. Definitely very dynamic, so nice, Adebanji and I envy your experimentation. I never have tried mixed media like this!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Adebanji...it's the color of music!
ReplyDeleteLove the great multitudes of color variations, Adebanji! One can about "hear" the music in this painting. :)
ReplyDeleteAdebanji, there are so many things that I love about this painting, from the energy to the wood tones in the violin. Another fabulous piece for Ed's book.
