Straight away i am excited and mesmerized by these stripy paintings and especially like the way he lets it carry on down onto the floor in some cases. It just shouts out to me and is very similar to what i did for one of my pieces. Ian goes further by using syringes to pour out the glossy house paints down the stainless steel plates, something i've wanted to do is pour paint onto metal with glossy paints.
Really amazing pieces from this guy! he did a massive piece on Southwark Bridge title "poured lines", which just looks so cool and great place to put it up i think works very well where it is. must remind myself to go have a look next time im near there! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3654625/Dance-to-the-music-of-lines.html
this piece is very interesting as it actually has different looks through out the day, "In the morning, the work is dominated by the yellow stripes. In the afternoon, the pinks and purples start to come through more". as said by the university of Warwick. this makes it so much more interesting and adds more indepth about what it actually is, because at first you just see lines but if you keep on looking you get more and more pulled into these types of pieces and i like this alot.
There is a great interview here on Ian Davenport and how he works, really interesting stuff and some of it i might have to try out for myself now! I found one bit very interseting as he says for hes choice of colors to use for his piece that he got his color pallete from the opening of the simpsons, how random is that but cool. - http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/sep/20/guide-to-painting-ian-davenport
