About This Work
This black, silver and gold painting would make a stunning focal point for any room. The light catches the silver base paint which then shimmers and shines. Would be great for any monochrome style interior design. There is a hidden secret to this painting too. When the lights go out the resin over the base coat eminates a blue glow. The photo luminescent crystals that were added to the resin absorb UV light and after dark they release energy in the form of a long lasting ambient glow. This is the second painting in the CSI series of glow in the dark paintings An original action art painting (but in my own style without so much emphasis on the "action") that involves the deliberate application of considered sweeping brushstrokes and the wonderful accidental effects that occur from the gradual build up of dripping and pouring paint onto the canvas. Original art by Kris Mercer paying tribute to Jackson Pollock's action paintings with new materials. Paint and inks mixed with acrylic mediums and varnish is dripped and poured onto the canvas. I like getting involved in the very essence of these paintings. Each colour and stroke is done in a considered thoughtful way and the paintings are built up of many layers of paint and colours. The larger paintings have to be laid on the floor which means you have to walk around the painting making choices on where and how to lay the paint down. Some layers are worked wet paint into wet paint while other layers are allowed to dry fully before the next colour is added. The final outcome can never be totally controlled which means each piece is totally unique.
