'Fracture' - New original painting on canvas, by Dan Kitchener on Jun 2, 2014 8:13:35 GMT 1, 'Fracture'
Something different from me today. I often paint works, digitally and on canvas alongside other series of paintings and concepts that I work on as commissions or for shows. One idea and concept that I have been working on is the apocalypse / end of the world idea. The idea of fire and brimstone, cracked, jagged earth, torn and rising up. Lava and molten rock erupting, spitting fury into the air, steam hissing and heat blasting outwards. I wanted to capture this emotion and idea in a very abstract, organic and gestural way, so have been woking on a series of enormous canvases. This one, is 60 x 48 inches, and entitled 'Fracture'. There's something very beautiful about the way the paint creates arcs and strings, like a molten lava explosion, relatively simple, it creates a sense of movement and heat, and captures the ideas I am striving to illustrate in these works. Loose application of the paint combined with large, controlled brush work, creates this painting.

The idea was to have works so large that they dominate your view, nothing comes into your peripheral vision, you are immersed in the image, immersed in the apocalypse!

'Fracture' - New original painting on canvas, by Dan Kitchener on Jun 2, 2014 10:39:08 GMT 1, Thanks for the feedback. I do actually paint a wide variety of work, and have a fondness for abstract works, although perhaps don't necessarily feel they are suitable for showing, this work along with some others in this 'series' has worked for me on numerous levels, and so thought i'd share! I like diversity in my work
