Peeing in a chlorine pool
2011
varnish on linen
1200 x 1600 mm
One of Australia’s most acclaimed artists, Dale Frank, is known for his poured varnish canvases and fascinating titles and Peeing in a chlorine pool, doesn’t disappoint. This work is the result of a highly complex painting technique in which intensely coloured varnish is poured layer upon layer in different stages of the drying process. In the resulting enigmatic and lyrical abstraction, the surface is laden with colours that collide and separate, literally reacting with each other.
