History of abstract painting...series "Tribute"

I have created the following two abstract paintings, using the work of Sean SCULLY as a starting point.

The idea:

I saw an exhibit by Sean SCULLY at the Museum of Contemporary Art in St Etienne a few years ago, and it was a real encounter!
This great artist creates very large canvases and manages to make colors vibrate...
Alongside this crush, I wanted to work with cardboard.
This material, which is abundantly available in our environment, is great to work with.
I like tearing it, scratching it, perforating it...
Once transformed, pieces of cardboard can resemble pieces of leather.
I enjoy repurposing everyday objects to divert, to elevate them, I love this raw, "root" aesthetic.

The achievement:

I have punched, scratched, torn quantities of pieces of cardboard.
Then, I glued them onto the linen canvas.
After drying, I applied multiple layers of acrylic colors to give this melted and deep effect to each piece.
Brushes, sponge, paper towel, all means were used.
"TRIBUTE", which translates to "homage" in English, is the name I gave them.
