Jonny J McPhee
I mostly work with oil paint on canvas, exploring the space between representation and abstraction. I don’t usually map out my paintings ahead of time; working instead spontaneously and experimentally. I primarily make art to amuse myself and like to play around with different ways of working with paint.
With my current painting practice I've limited my colour pallet to earth tones and work quickly with thin applications of paint allowing the texture of the canvas to show through. I'm interested in experimenting with controlling the application of paint on the one hand and balancing this with letting the paint flow and bleed at will. Intentional vs accidental.
