About "Fiesta"

by Auke de Jong

About the artwork

This painting (acrylic on canvas) originally measured 50 x 70 centimetres,
It was worked with palette knives and masking tape.
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.
Because the layers of paint are thinly superimposed, transparency is (also) created....
This painting is titled: Fiesta..... The warm colours have a festive feel....
The repetition of shapes (as is common in Futurism) depicts movement (speed) and sound (waves).....
