New Work: I Will Never Leave You

I've been working hard this weekend to get a big canvas finished. The inspiration for this canvas is from Hebrews 13:5 which reads...

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”

Now I'm not believer but I do enjoy adding a religious context to my work and the quote above stood out to me which is why I decided to use it. Read on for the process I went through to create this new piece of art and to understand more about what it means to me.

Usually my work involves cynical messages in the background however a friend convinced me to do something positive and maybe use bible text. With the backgrounds I do I start with a light grey and write large letters, these letters slowly get darker and smaller. Starting with the big letters this seemed the most obvious way to start.

As the text gets smaller and darker I used quotes from the Old Testament. I like to be messy at this stage making sure there are drips and splashes of paint. This layer of the background is from Isaiah 48:9-11.

The final layer of the background is from the New Testament Hebrews 13:5-6. This was all done with emulsion, acrylic paint and lots of water. Finished with a little splatter of grey and signal red from my Belton Molotow spraycans.

Now I've got my backgrounds sorted I sketch out a little worm on a post it note to make sure I get the balance of the piece right. I want the reds in the artwork to be strong so I sketch up the worm on a large sheet of card and get the blade out.

The stencil is cut and fits the canvas perfectly so I take it outside to spray. Detail is added below using Posca markers.
I'm pleased with how it's turned out. The smooth worm and the deep reds add a nice high quality finish.
Now available in the Korp store.
