April in Paris Study 2
April in Paris Study 2, by Cath Duncan. 2023. Acrylic on paper.
Description
These 19 x 19cm artworks are studies that were part of my process when I was creating a commission last year. I was asked to create a painting inspired by the song, April in Paris, by Count Basie. I began by listening to how the music felt for me and noticing what came to mind too. It felt like energy, passion, romance, play, charm, warmth and intimacy with a touch of chaos, risk and vulnerability. With that in mind, still listening to the music, I picked colours that felt resonant, and played with the paint intuitively to see what shapes, motions, patterns, textures, gestures, edges, and lines came forward.
The commissioned painting is sold, but these studies are available now, mounted in 30 x 30cm crisp white passe partouts, ready for you to place in a standard 30 x 30cm frame of your choice.
