STRUCTURAL LANDSCAPES Matter Abstract Painting

Painting technique of Bartos Saro

Matter Abstract Painting is a technique that uses a thick impasto paint to which materials such as sanded glass, mud, sand, feathers, cement and shells are added. The accessories can by any kind and they influence the style and character of the work. Bartos Saro is limited to acrylic paint mixed with a binder and sifted sand. The layers of texture and paste used in the painting are very delicate and at the same time fancy.

Heavy matter abstract paintings, painted with thick paste, are prone to cracking. Saro avoids such effects. The surfaces of his paintings are perfect, creating unique rhythmic patterns on them. Saro’s paintings typically consist of a textured substrate layer made of sand mixed with an acrylic-based binder. Characteristic for the artist is the use of black paint as a preparation for the painting surface. Thanks to this, the images show a clear pattern of unpainted ground.

Expressive and expansive creativity In Matter Bastract Painting

In Matter Abstract Painting, rhythms of colorful gestures appear embedded in the structure of the work on a dense surface. Each stain that has been spilled, drawn or drawn across the canvas is a unique sign. The applied paint is a record of physical activity. Very expressive and expansive matter is unique in form. The elements of the painting poured onto the base create accents, rhythms and pauses.

The painting refers to music, to the sounds of nature. It becomes melodic, multi-sensual. This is a unique feature of the work of Barots Saro. Saro’s work is characterized by two main formal approaches: first, the application of a substrate made of sieved sand. Second, adding color layers, poured or applied to the substrate with unique tools. The combination of formal aspects of the Matter Abstract Painting technique and a reference to music is the timeless value of these works.
