I realized that the cotton canvas underneath the paint, is actually a little rough to the touch. However, once the acrylic or enamel paint is applied, and a protective clear coating is painted on top of the paint, the surface has become smooth. And thus, that is how I came up with this Series of Ambidextrous (Rorschach) Abstract Expressionism Photography artworks. In addition, this series has an oddity to the artwork Numbering because I'm not sure where some pieces aresome may have been lost in a hard drive crash. Thus, the first artwork in this series is No4, so be assured that you are not imagining things. In addition, there is a big jump in the series from No12 to No20. I just arbitrarily named 20, 20, because I did not want to accidentally give another artwork in this series, the same number: Jumping ahead in the numbering to 20, seemed like a safe jump in the numbering system of this series. Perchance, one day, maybe I will find the missing artworks in the series, but at this time, where the missing pieces are, is a mystery.Tags:Rough, Smooth, Painting, Ambidextrous, Rorschach, RepeatingPatterns, NawfalJohnson, Yellow, Red, Green, Abstract, Expressionism, Mirrored, FineArt, Contemporary, Amazing, Beautiful, Forever, Chaos, Order,
Nawfal Johnson Nur, Malaysia Member Since September 2006 Artist Statement IMAGEKIND: ARTIST BIO — Nawfal Johnson — Smokephotographist Beginnings: When I pick up my camera ... when I compose the subjects in the frame ... and, when I plan and set up my lighting, I have one thing in mind — To take a better photograph than the last time.
I have been using a camera as a hobbyist since I was 12 years old, and then as a freelance professional since 1998.
Photography is a Madness for Me — My Work: I have been a long-time Freelance Stage & Dance Photographer; nevertheless, I focus much of my energy designing fine art Abstract, and, Abstract Expressionism Photography. I also design SMOKE-ART PHOTOGRAPHY, and that is the art style I focused on in my 2011 book, titled, ETHEREAL DREAMS and HOPE.
My Artistic Influences: My main artistic influences are Jackson Pollock and Robert Henri. As for photographic influences, I have always drawn inspiration from photographers Carl Fischer, and Andreas Feininger.
