About "Night dive / wreck dive"

by Auke de Jong

About the artwork

This painting (acrylic on canvas) originally measured 50 x 40 centimetres,
It was worked exclusively with palette knives.
The style is abstract and surrealistic/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) shapes but also sharp, taut lines. Fine transitions and nuances are created in the colour/colours.
Grattage was 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.
This painting is titled: Night dive/wreck dive ; the shapes we see could be organic in nature; but they could also be wreckage.... The pale monochrome light evokes associations with night diving.
The repetition of shapes (as is common in Futurism) is used i.a. to suggest movement / speed and sound..., but here it mainly provides depth and a certain order.
