Jocelyn Gregson Wattle (Discipline XXIII) 2006 Wax, black Acrylic and Gesso on Canvas 85 x 85 x 4.5 cm $ 3,800 Galerie Dusseldorf
The DISCIPLINE is that I use only black acrylic paint which is diluted to create the lighter tones and at full strength for dark or black areas. It would be quicker and easier to use white to create value differences, but the effect is very different and not at all like a photocopy.
This means perhaps anachronistically, that the paintings are also very much about the slow and careful expenditure of time. In that way differing greatly from the speedy mechanistic process I seek to echo.
