Down to a Sunless Sea

An original acrylic painting by Tony Broadbent. The whole painting is covered in deep, tangible, impasto rich, pure acrylic paint straight from the tube - placed, painted and arranged in thick swaithes, dabs, marks, grooves over and over again layering and forming the substrate and background. The paint is placed on in such a way that the image is seen complete with all the interference and substance/substrate interacting and can be appreciated.

A semi- impressionist painting.

It is a tangible and significant piece. Sale level C.

Behind every Cloud

Semi-abstract/surreal triptych. An original oil painting by Tony Broadbent. Using vibrant colours for effect, warmth and mood, I bring this slightly surreal skyscape into your home. It is there to provide an uplift, a change and a promise of better things to come, hence the title. A technical but fun painting none the less. It makes a statement and cannot fail but to be observed, it commands attention in a nice way and is both easy and complicated. I enjoyed painting this one. Please note its size it is 84 inches wide ( 7 feet ) x 20 inches on box canvas. Oils SOLD Four more in process enquiries welcome.

In a minute

Abstract InternalismAn original oil on 24 x 24 inch Box canvas. This painting is one of a series I did which has been themed as Abstract Internalism. It is a self expressive style of painting where the artist attempts to internailise feelings by the medium of paint. Different to abstract expressionism where the actual action of painting donates the mood of the art in action - this way is the anti-thesis where the mood is none violent, nor overly expressive but the opposite, quiet, reflective, internal - perhaps a mood of peace, solitude. A calm which transferes the mood in a different way, easier on the eye and feel to the observer. Original concept - perhaps? Sale level A

Prelude to Violence

Abstract Expressionism old style. An original oil on 24 x 24 inch Box canvas. Impasto swiped and layered oils. Emotions in conversation. It is a simple representation of anger, conflict and strong emotions. A conversation of verbose expletives. Deliberately unsubtle with cause shown in both style and application, it expresses intent. A prelude to violence. The air is charged, alive and cut like a knife. Not for the faint hearted. Strong colours and definition impassioned strokes and use of thick oils. A modern Abstract Expressionist piece. Emotive and in your face. No apologies. 24 x 24 inch Box Canvas. SOLD

Small Square Organic

Abstract.This is a multi-layered technique and a wasteful way of painting but to good effect. It consists of an overall 3 tone underwash, then swathes of straight from the tube oils are applied then wiped away in a circular motion, time and time again until the structure forms and a shape is seen in depth, then a couple more half tubes of paint are applied leving risen Impasto edges and bright and darkness - wonderful. SOLD.
