The Heavenly Apparatus

Tim Barnes - 'The Heavenly Apparatus' - (250x400cm) Acrylic on Canvas, 2011

Extended brushes are used to distance myself from the canvas, 'at arms length', allowing the physicality of the stick to play a much more prominent role in the action of painting. Controlled chance and experimentation flings the door open to chaos.

When the chaos intervenes in action painting, this is the voice of our harmonious universe, being governed by natural law and partaking in rational order, it intercedes and makes the painting 'beautiful' or harmonious.
