Turbulence

Robert Piatek

This piece represents my emotional response to the turbulent world we are experiencing, the uncertainty of our future, wars, loss of live, suffering, natures violent response to our interference in the delicate balance she created over millions of years and much more. The process for this piece began by pinning a canvas to a plywood wall and then applying the paint with various sized heaving drywall knives. The paint was applied with force, driving it into the canvas in a swirling emotional manner. The canvas is heavy from the many tubes of paint applied thickly and scraped away and then more and more paint until the artist and paint and emotion were spent.
