Benjamin Shine launched his new ‘Tulle Paintings’ in his latest exhibition 3FOLD at Art2Muse Gallery. The series is now available to view at Sydney Intercontinental Double Bay.
Using narrow lengths of coloured tulle, heat-bonded to canvas through pleating, stretching, bunching, and layering, these works are created via an expressive, intuitive process that captures the freedom of painting while retaining a sculptural tactility. Most notably, by overlapping and layering individual pieces of tulle, the technique achieves a painterly colour-mixing effect unique to the material. The resulting compositions generate a translucent impasto effect, with arcs and sweeps of fabric projecting from the surface—transforming the flat picture plane into a dimensional space infused with texture, lightness, and colour.
Dreamer, Flow #4.
