Lavender Mist: Number 1 – Jackson Pollock
Lavender Mist: Number 1 is a painting by Jackson Pollock from 1950: a soft, misty surface of pink, white, grey, blue and black poured lines that blend in the eye into a gentle grey-violet tone. We paint our hand-painted study of Lavender Mist: Number 1 to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 80 × 60 cm to 300 × 221 cm or in a custom size. Before Lavender Mist: Number 1 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Lavender Mist: Number 1 show?
In Lavender Mist: Number 1 the lines are so dense and fine that from a distance the surface looks like mist, while up close it breaks into thousands of threads, drops and splashes of paint. The dark black strokes give the painting its structure, the light pinks and whites its glow. Along the top edge of the original Pollock’s handprints can be seen, like the signature of a painter who painted with his whole body; our Lavender Mist: Number 1 is likewise made by hand, layer by layer.
How is our hand-painted study of Lavender Mist: Number 1 made?
Our painters paint the study of Lavender Mist: Number 1 by hand, separately for every order: they build up Pollock’s dripped and poured lines layer by layer with thin, liquid paint, the way the original was made. That is why no two studies of Lavender Mist: Number 1 are the same line for line, and the paint stays raised on the canvas in threads and drops that a print does not have. When Lavender Mist: Number 1 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
