Crosshatchwork Red Yellow Pink

"Hatchwork Red Yellow Pink" is the first full scale canvas by Watkin composed using his innovative crosshatch expressionism process.  The result of close to a hundred experiments, studies and, of course, failures, the finalised process combines Watkin's interest in lineation, scraping, the use of paddles, crosshatching, texture and colour.  
The process involves carefully planned overlays of bands of colour applied with expressive paddle-work in the style of Richter, and then removed using various tilers' paddles to reveal, but also to modify, the stripes of colour below.  This occurs over several days although the paint has to be repeatedly applied and removed while still wet, so each session can be an intense, trance-like experience.  Hence the term crosshatch expressionism: a constructed grid painted with expressionist emotion.
The result is complex, textural, rhythmical, highly detailed and yet, from a distance, harmonious and calm.
This is a rare opportunity to own the first major canvas of a new series by an emergent artist at an entry level price with very strong provenance which is certain to increase your initial investment while giving you immense pleasure in the meantime.  Watkin’s work is already held in the private collections of writers, thinkers, performers and creatives all over the world.  He is also a world-famous intellectual with a global following.  He has historically sold by word of mouth through friends and contacts.  Saatchi is currently the only platform where his canvases are available to the general collector.
