Tools | Eóin Francis McCormack

I made a new tool today like the “circle 1” , but the “Three Circle” has three circles and they are smaller than the “circle 1”. So I feel the paintings are getting somewhere now and are expressing the ideas I wish. I am trying to speak about process and the tools used, the colour and viscosity , the physicality and structure. I have given myself many rules in my painting process that I have built up over the last few years and I am trying to shake off those shackles now. One can get caught up in ones own image or what is expected of them, then u realise your not Jim Carey in The Truman Show and nobody is watching u and know one cares anyway, which is a very freeing feeling. As always my paintings have a lot of paint and layers which I apply and remove as I see fit. My next step is to brighten the pieces (buy white paint). I have also introduced a square stamp on the “Three Paintings” which is now in itself a painting, I have always used rectangles but never a square it is exciting and nerve wreaking at the same time but I must push and risk . I have aslo completed a small square painting so everything is changing.So I have photos of the “Three Paintings” the “stamp painting” the ” Small Square Painting” the “Three Circle” and also the completed facade for the studio.
