Art Force Traffic Signal Box painting

Posted: Wednesday,28th July, 2021 | Author: | Filed under: competition, Painting, Project | Tags: , , , , , , | Leave a comment

At 2 meters tall and 2.6 meters the whole way round, it is the largest painting I’ve ever done (and the most public too).

Inspired by aboriginal dot art and henna, recreating a map of the local area including Marchant Park and 7th Brigade Park. Roads, trees, sports fields and even Chermside Shopping Center and the intersection the traffic box is on are all accounted for. The box is at corner Murphy Rd and Ellison Rd Geebung.

Thanks Artforce Brisbane for the privilege of gifting this painting to the local area.

Detail

 

These were commissioned by Harry to fill a few prerequisites:

  • could not be too big in the room but big enough to fill a full wall
  • had to create contrast in his lounge with red-brown-maroon colour palette
  • could be versatile enough to be changed at will – not a static diptych
  • modern and interesting
  • simple
  • blur the lines between art and design

Each panel is a 50 x 90 cm pre-made canvas. The relationship between colours employees Fibonacci numbers for balance. Due to using this number set each panel is balanced and when adding the panels to each other in any formation continued the number set.
