MARK CHADWICK

Mark Chadwick is a contemporary artist who creates spin and fluid paintings. His work often features very bright, vivid colours in an almost psychedelic, marble pattern. While fluid paintings are very unpredictable in it's outcome, most of Chadwick's pieces have similar patterns, which means he probably does many little pours and controls where they spread in order to create this effect of the paint going in towards the center of the canvas. I took inspiration from Mark Chadwick's work when i first started my fluid painting series, using bright colours on a large canvas with numerous different pours to try and make interesting patterns. Doing this inspired me to push my ideas further and try new things regarding surfaces and also materials to mix with the paint in order to create different reactions.
