Here are some more paintings where I've tried to merge music and painting, however in the top three paintings here I was listening to some violin music by Purcell in an attempt to get lost in the painting by getting lost in the music, hopefully resulting in a painting that the viewer can get lost in like they can with music. After seeking some advice about this, I've been advised to go big with it all now, get away from these small boards. So I've got myself two large square boards and one large long thin board, I'm thinking of creating a score of painting so to speak on this one, inspired by the work of artists from the De Stijl movement. There is a really awesome exhibition on in Tate Modern at the moment all about the De Stijl art scene, I was originally a bit sceptical because I don't usually like strongly geometric images, but the ideas behind them are so abstract that the paintings then became fascinating. In particular a room in the exhibition dealt with this cross over between different media really interested me. The result being an exciting mix of sound, film, sculpture, painting and performance.
This orange painting was really rather rushed, having spent most of a day trying to create the piece below, I got irritated with it so put some paint on my finger tips, whacked on the music and "played" the board, the result being every single note being depicted in paint on the board. When I'd finished this though aesthetically it wasn't very interested so I experimented with scraping the paint along a bit, which looked slightly better but it still wasn't working so I then put the piece of music on again and scraped into the paint a flowing line where I barely took the end of the paint brush off the board. I'm still not entirely happy with it, but I felt it was a more accurate connection between the music and the paint. Maybe being accurate is the mistake, could concentrate more on the general feelings I get when listening to the music and then try to get those same feelings across in the paint. We shall see!
This is a representation of a piano and piano music, and also my discovery of how useful a ruler can be to apply paint, really good fun! Would definitly like to explore more and more weird ways of applying paint. I think board is better for me to work on considering that I will probably be using more and more random objects to apply paint. This week we're having a lecture on "Body in Art", it might be interesting to explore this on the boards too.
