About "Composition"

by Auke de Jong

About the artwork

This painting (acrylic on plywood/birch) originally measured 50 x 120 centimetres,
It was worked with palette knives, trowels (á la Gerhard Richter) and glue combs.
The style is abstract and surreal/futuristic.
Technically, grattage (literally: scraping) has been applied. To be precise: grattage with a palette knife in the still wet paint. In the process, the top layer is partly removed, revealing the underlying layer. This creates organic (or: biomorphic) forms but also sharp, taut lines. Fine transitions and nuances are created in the colour/colours.
Grattage was (re)invented and applied in the middle of the last century by Joan Miró, Antonio Saura and Max Ernst, among others. The technique is characteristic of movements such as Futurism, Cubism and Surrealism.
Apart from grattage, trowels are used to superimpose several layers of paint. This creates transitions between colours and also blends.
This painting is titled: Composition.... further explanation is superfluous here.
The repetition of shapes (as is common in Futurism) depicts movement (speed) and sound (waves).....
