100% Human Tested (1989) – A Bold Gouache Exploration
This captivating gouache painting, titled “100% Human Tested” and created in 1989, is a bold and intriguing exploration of the human form. A unique piece from your early artistic journey, it would be a compelling addition to any collection of contemporary art.
A Striking Exploration of Form:
The artwork features a central skull motif rendered in stark black and white against a contrasting background of vibrant green and splatters of yellow and red. The use of bold colors and contrasting elements creates a sense of drama and intrigue, inviting the viewer to contemplate the complexities of the human experience. The prominent text “100% Human Tested” adds a layer of dark humor and social commentary, making this piece a thought-provoking conversation starter.
Gouache Technique:
Gouache paints allowed me to create bold, opaque washes of colour, and this piece is a testament to that technique. The use of opaque white and black gouache creates a striking contrast, while the looser application of greens, yellows, and reds adds a touch of dynamism to the composition.
