Description
Thought III – a white cross over earth and gold
Painting on canvas breaks a warm earth ground with two white lines that cross to the left of centre: abstract painting whose whole event is that intersection, since the brown, gold and olive beneath it is built from upright blocks that run down into drips at the foot.
Technique and texture
Thick paint was put down and then scratched into, so what was laid earlier surfaces through the coat on top. The white lines were dropped from a narrow tip, and where they ran they broke into separate beads. Spatters of white lie across the whole canvas exactly where they landed, with nothing corrected afterwards.
The motif
The crossing point is not central but pushed into the left third, which leaves the right side of the canvas open. The written trace cannot be read: it is spaced too evenly for language and reads as a record rather than as a sentence. Pink-magenta is the only cool note here, and it appears nowhere except along the horizontal.
Setting and placement
Browns and golds settle beside wood, leather and brick, so the wall itself needs no preparation. Hang it where people stop and look — a study, an office, the quiet end of a living room.
