About "Industrial Heritage"

by Auke de Jong

About the artwork

This painting (acrylic on canvas) originally measured 40 x 40 centimetres.
It was worked almost exclusively with palette knives.
The style of the work is abstract, with elements of cubism and especially futurism. The term surrealism also seems applicable.
Technically, mainly ''grattage'' (literally: scraping) has been applied. To be precise: grattage with a palette knife in the still wet paint. This technique produces organic (or: biomorphic) forms, but also sharp, rigid shapes and lines (as in Cubism). Grattage was invented and used in the middle of the last century by Antonio Saura and Max Ernst, among others.
In the painting, we see a repetition of shapes, with the overall look reminiscent of an industrial installation. In Futurism, machines and the rise of industry were glorified and repetition of shapes was used to depict movement and sound. In the painting, industry seems to have pretty much swallowed up the landscape; little greenery remains. This raises the question of the extent to which we should preserve industrial heritage.....
