Fire Starter Spin PaintingBy Andy Shaw
2003
Gloss paint on canvas 30" x 30"
Available from Britart.com £450 / $870
'Instinct and intuition lead towards colour combinations and structural forms evolving whilst the painting is still in progress'... So says Shaw. 'The flow of paint reacts in various complex ways, operating at the boundary between order and disorder, chaos and anti-chaos, macroscopic and microscopic.
Sounds like bullshit I know - But the same thing happens with the Digitalia pictures I create - On the one hand they are completely random but at the same time you find yourself trying to control the randomness.
I used to do things like this, on a far smaller scale of course, as a kid - Local fetes and Brighton Pier [if I recall correctly] used to have these turntables, I assume made out of old record players - And somebody used to produce a toy one. Not sure who though. It could have been whoever made Spirograph [who was that?].... Maybe I should have kept it up; Shaw's work features in the collections of David Bowie, Noel Gallagher and Marco Pierre White!
