This painting was inspired by the complexity of the University, as well as a game I am playing on my smartphone entailing a pixelated character running through an endless labyrinth. To contrast the power elements there is a backdrop of earth colours made from iron oxide paints. Elements such as earth, wind, fire, plants are depicted in between. This was also yet another palette cleanser, where I am literally cleaning the paint blobs on my palette. It would have been nice to paint outside but the days and weeks are going to be long and hard for the next little while due to work intensity picking up in September. So it was nice to sit down and make a creative painting.
