SCP (Spectral Chromo Prismatic) Rolling Pin A2 Painting - No. 24
Artist Daniel Eatock, in collaboration with leading art material supplier Winsor & Newton, presents an exploration of the nuance and complexity of colour. During his residency at SCP for the London Design Festival 2024, process-focused practitioner Eatock took empty paint tubes and refilled them with combinations of different colours. The paint was then applied to a wooden canvas and a rolling pin was used to push the paint across it. This single action created a new work, whose spectrum, shape and mix were unknown until it was completed. Works on both wooden canvas and paper were created.///Description
Daniel Eatock is a specialist in lateral thinking, resolving the complexity encountered in the world with reductive poetic logic. He intertwines a commercial and cultural practice: responding to the paradox of daily life and the complexities of project assignments.
Artist Statement
A painting is often an attempt to paint the illusion of three dimensions, be it a still life or abstract. Depth, space – a window to the world. The Rolling Pin Paintings are made to break this illusion, they are very flat. The paint is rolled with an implement designed for rolling dough or pastry. The forms that emerge appear anamorphic, stretched and dilated. Colours collide with the rolling, the action creates the composition using the location of the paints application as their starting points. Like a journey undertaken when a destination is unknown, the painting materialises with the action. The action reveals a form that is meant to be. I act as facilitator, allowing what is meant to be, to emerge. The colours are emotimaticaly selected on the day the painting is made. In a world of skeumorphic illusion these works are ‘flat’, a search for a meaningful truth. Not attempting to appear like something it is not, but embracing everything that it truly is.
