This is a bright and colorful abstract on a steely blue background. A beautiful creative piece full of movement, Cosmic Hammer Smash was actually created as the name suggests, with a hammer!
Picture the scene in my art studio, half way up a mountain in Italy. Loud music, incense, a canvas, paints and a hammer. What could go wrong?
Seriously, hammer smash is a technique used in acrylic pour painting. It takes practice to know which colors will work well with the technique (as well as quantities and which are best on top or on bottom of the paint puddle). It also takes practice to use the hammer in such a way that the paint creates a pleasing splatter in the direction you want it to travel - and not all down the front of the artist!
I love the color combination in this piece and how the color has mingled together while still keeping its individual presence felt.
