Mutant Spider
16 × 12. Acrylic on canvas. Unframed.
This painting is an abstract piece with a textured, layered composition that combines bold colours and expressive mark-making. The canvas is dominated by a fiery red hue, which serves as the primary background colour, creating a sense of intensity and warmth. Overlaid on this red base are broad, horizontal strokes of blue, white, and gray, applied with a loose, gestural technique that gives the painting a sense of movement and spontaneity. The brushstrokes vary in thickness and opacity, allowing the red to show through in some areas while being more obscured in others, creating a dynamic interplay of colours.
The painting evokes a sense of emotional intensity and chaos, with the fiery red suggesting passion or turmoil, tempered by the cooler tones and the rhythmic marks. It feels like a visual representation of an inner emotional landscape, with the abstract forms and textures inviting the viewer to interpret the piece through their own lens. The style is reminiscent of abstract expressionism, with its emphasis on spontaneous, emotional expression and a focus on colour and texture over recognizable forms.
