'Conjugation iii' is a mixed media painting on yupo, 100x120cm mounted on board, unframed (or can be framed for local buyers) from the Complexity series by John Louis Lloyd
Yupo is an archival eco-friendly synthetic watercolour paper, favoured by artists for its responsiveness to inks, watercolours, acrylics, mixed media. The artist finishes the painting with several layers of UV varnish, leaving open options for framing with or without glass.
This dynamic mixed media painting bursts with raw energy and organic movement. Rich crimson reds surge from the lower left, spreading upward like flames or blooming coral, while deep teals and inky blues crash against them, evoking the impression of ocean currents or geological formations under intense pressure. The collision of these saturated colour fields creates an almost elemental tension—fire meets water, or earth meets atmosphere. The textures are striking, with cellular patterns, bleeding pigments, and web-like fractures that hint at both natural processes such as magnified organisms or mineral crystallisation.
The pale, peach-hued negative space in the top right gives the composition breathing room, intensifying the drama where the colour zones converge. The intricate detailing along the edges of the colour transitions reveals careful layering, likely achieved through a mix o techniques, and perhaps chemical interactions in the medium. This work is both visceral and cerebral—simultaneously suggesting the microcosmic and the cosmic. It invites the viewer to interpret it through the lens of emotion, nature, or even abstraction of internal states like transformation, tension, or release.
Port Art hosts a framing studio and custom framing can be ordered prior to freighting, or we can send an instruction sheet with suggestions to take to your local framer.
