Body and Sound, Moving in Harmony (2014) Original Acrylic Painting by Gordon T.

Acrylic colour on handmade thai mulberry paper, deckled edge, 21 x 31 in., 55 x 80 cm.
Indian dance. A fascinating subject I love to return to for the body language. Here I have a male dancer and musicians.
There’s lots of skin to work with, and a chance to blur the cloth for movement. The thick parchment paper takes nicely to acrylic paint dripped onto it.
The paper I use is a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It is a thick parchment type paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect.
The close up picture is to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.

Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a portrait, family portrait, a storyboard collage from a recent travel, event or performance? Contact me.
