To The Moon and Back Painting

To The Moon and Back is a vibrant and textured abstract expressionist painting inspired by love, using plaster and acrylics on canvas. Samuel has used plaster on stretched cotton canvas to create a heavily textured surface. He has dabbed, brushed and splattered various shades of pink acrylic paint over this surface to create an energetic and striking composition. The painting is then finished with a layer of PVA to strengthen the surface and to create a slightly glossy surface which emphasises the plasters texture. Samuel painted this artwork during a week where he felt particularly happy and positive during lockdown. Samuel’s intention when he purchased the canvas was to create a minimalist painting with a neutral colour palette, however this concept quickly disappeared when he took advantage of his emotions to create this abstract-expressionist painting! This painting differs slightly from Samuel’s usual work as he has adopted a wetter brush for the application of the acrylic paints, adding a dripped element. He has also used plaster instead of his favoured cracking clay medium to create a textured surface. Samuel has named the work ‘To The Moon and Back’, a phrase which is usually preceded by the words ‘I love you’. The colour pink, his feeling of positivity, and the love he felt from his partner and friends during the week he painted the artwork led to this name. To The Moon and Back measures 90cm x 90cm and sits within a 94.5cm x 94.5cm x 5.5cm white painted frame with a small gap between the canvas and frame.
