Ian Davenport Thesis Research


Ian Davenport
(Puddle Painting: Prime II, acrylic on aluminum, 2008)
He uses drips of paint to create a painting, using gravity, rotating the canvas (whatever material) and is interested in what the drips create, as he manipulates them. This is basically what I do, just a lot messier, and muddier.I would like to recreate my own paintings, but more neater, and more precise. Maybe its the pace I work, because I work quickly, and in a sense almost randomly. I would say I paint with uncertainty, but I like that aspect of not knowing exactly what will happen in my work, however I would like to become neater, and have the colors stay more separate, or more opaque, so that they wont blend together.
