About "Rain"

by Auke de Jong

About the artwork

This painting (acrylic on canvas) originally measured 50 x 50 centimetres,
It was worked with palette knives, a glue comb and a trowel.
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.
Grattage was invented and used 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.
Characteristic for this painting is (also) the use of a trowel. This is used to apply new layers of paint several times (compare Richter's work). This creates colour combinations and new shapes. We also see gradual transitions between colours.
The painting evokes associations with a rainy street/town. There also seems to be reflection. The repetition of round and wavy lines we see is typical of Futurism. It depicts movement, speed and/or sound.
