Product details
Painted over an existing work with thick paint and dabs of colour, Green Day gives the gesture of painting as much importance as the finished image. Its energy comes from a deliberate attempt to move beyond predetermined decisions and work instinctively.
“I’ve used a creative method that suspends the intellect, it’s used in acting as well to achieve the most instinctual results,” explains Virtosu. He connects this self-dialogue with the Dadaist technique of dictée automatique.
He describes “a rapid fire of words that I was saying to myself while painting, negating the intellect and the pre-judged gestures. It was a very intense experience, like a re-invention of sorts.”
