The Void in the Oil




Thomas Hjelm a fellow peer.  Working with strong materials in his paintings.
His most recent work has moved up a notch and hangs out on its own. 
I really feel that this is one of his best!
The painting is meant to hang from the ceiling using a heavy metal chain and lock,
with the viewer having to walk around it. The canvas is completely wrapped around the frame stretcher. 
 Black oil paint liberally applied as if it were dipped in Richard Wilson's 20-50 used sump oil and then dragged it from The Saatchi Gallery.
I have chosen to show only part of the painting.
