About "Reggae"

by Auke de Jong

About the artwork

This painting (acrylic on canvas) originally measured 50 x 70 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) forms but also sharp, taut lines. Beautiful 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 ''Reggae''. The colours used fit this music very nicely. In terms of shapes, the long lines represent melody; the big round shapes represent bass and the small, sharp shapes represent rhythm (drums) and guitar (riffs).
The repetition of shapes (as is common in futurism) depicts movement (speed) and sound (waves).....
