Relative Articulation by Steve Baylis

Artwork

Relative Articulation

Medium
Oil and cold wax on Baltic birch panel
Series

Process
Stained and bleached panel, transparent gesso, five transparent glazes, large initial marks, five further glazes, then smaller marks and highlights.

Artwork note

Crimson, burgundy, deep violet, and near-black form a dark, warm field. Fine cyan, pale blue, white, and pink marks gather through the middle and lower half, producing several bright openings rather than a single continuous band. Larger red and black shapes remain exposed around them.
