Ice Caves

Neil Wedman’s ice caves are created through a process of mixing and then significantly diluting acrylic paint, until it is as close as possible to the consistency of water. Holding the canvas vertically, the paint is carefully poured from a bottle down the surface. Each canvas is then expertly tilted or rotated to direct the flow of paint. This is where the medium and subject begin to echo one another—as the layers of liquid solidify, they resemble flowstone and other forms that might occur in an ice cave. The resulting paintings present a unique visual vocabulary which unveils itself slowly, where the subject is camouflaged by the same material method used to reveal it.

Spotlights

Spotlights is the culmination of work done over the summer of 2016 and the summer of 2017. Consistency is key in this series of ten: each piece is vertically oriented and measures 78 inches by 60 inches, with each composition seemingly a copy of the previous. The works are made through a process of extraction and dilution of the paint. Acrylic paint is mixed to a completely liquid consistency and poured down the surface of the canvas, causing the paint to behave in an atypical way where the individual components making up each colour separate from one another, creating subtle auras and stains as well as accidental blemishes and unanticipated inconsistencies.
