Mondrian intepretation by tomauto



i've been quite fascinated with the use of masking tape on canvas, influenced by the summer camps i've been assisting in.  Kids painted on canvas and with the use of masking tape, blocked out entirely the areas of their first coat of background colour, only to reveal it after filling in the spaces that it serves to bound. 

this wooden tile(10x10cm, salvaged from a trasnah event) painted by moi is inspired by that, and the colours by piet mondrian. embellishments and textures are by me, because i love using dots, circles and lines to add finishing touches to my work.  

my good friend mum mum chops came over to do painting to me and this is his first abstract masterpiece on cardboard.  this pic is the unfinished work done by him.  we've just gone for supper and i helped him do some touching up coz i can't eat after 8pm.  


think the bottom left white leafy things on my tile are a tad too much.  gonna edit it soon.  sometimes less is more, even with intricate complexed work.
