Dear Actionists,

following the invitation of Hive account@aksinya (which she made in this post), here comes my entry of an action-painting I did with acrylic paint on cardboard yesterday evening.

Here are some details:

The Music

I started by painting the cardboard using black acryls.

The music, I was listening to, was one of my favorite Jazz albums from the Swedish jazz pianist Esbjörn Svensson, who sadly died in 2008 during a scuba diving session way too early. I basically started listening from 1:17 min with a song called "Premonition I. Earth", which is the first song at the vinyl album.

Here is the whole album at youtube:

Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Leucocyte

The process

You can see that I started dripping basic colors like red, blue, yellow and green on the black background.


Then I got this blurry colored background.
And even more colors.

"Premonition", Acrylic on cardboard (2017), approx. 110 x 68 cm (43 x 27 inch)

Hope you like it - Thanks for watching!
