Original artwork description:

This is an original oil painting on oil painting paper by South Australian artist Scott Maxwell.

This painting is now reworked and available for sale.

If you want a specific size painting get in touch with me we can work that out easily. I'm happy to do commission work.

This is a new process I've been developing recently, it's quite different to my other techniques. It includes some elements from the minimalist genre combined with varying thicknesses of paint and texture along with various shades of colour toned horizontal bands. Some of the paint is scraped back or thinly glazed to reveal some of the layers and white surface beneath.

Life is thought of as linear, a start and an end, but the lives we lead between those ends builds in layers, one on top of the others. They aren't always neat and tidy sometimes there are heavy layers on top of thinner ones. Some of the time they merge together in parts, they mix and overlay combining or separating in very individual ways for all of us. I find this is a very interesting process and an interesting outcome.

This piece is painted on high quality paper specifically made for oil paint. It's archival, acid free & very tough. It can be easily mounted & hanged or framed.

I am working on mounting some of these works on paper onto a cradled wood panel. They can be hung like that, unframed with the sides painted.
