Hatchwork Green Blue Yellow

"Hatchwork Green Blue Yellow" is the second full scale canvas by Watkin composed using his innovative crosshatch expressionism process.  
 
The result of close to a hundred experiments, studies and, of course, failures, the finalised process combines Watkin's interest in lineation, scraping, the use of paddles, crosshatching, texture and colour.  
 
The process involves carefully planned overlays of bands of colour applied with expressive paddle-work, and then removed using various tilers' paddles to reveal, but also to modify, the stripes of colour below.  
 
This process of creative destruction occurs over several days, although the paint has to be repeatedly applied and removed while still wet, so each session can be an intense, trance-like experience.  
 
Hence the term crosshatch expressionism: a constructed grid painted with expressionist emotion.
 
The result is complex, textural, rhythmical, highly detailed and yet, from a distance, harmonious and calm.
 
This is a rare opportunity to own the one of the first major canvases of a new series by an emergent artist at an entry level price with very strong provenance which is certain to increase your initial investment while giving you immense pleasure in the meantime. Watkin’s work is already held in the private collections of writers, thinkers, performers and creatives all over the world.  
 
His work only came to the market in the summer of 2023 and he has already sold multiple large pieces globally.
