Medium: Acrylic, Watercolour, Carbon Ink
Surface: Deep Edge Canvas
Dimensions: 50 x 40 cm X 4cm
Lithic District is an experimental mixed media artwork that explores the idea of a forgotten architectural landscape, as though unearthed from a prehistoric world. Built through layered acrylics, watercolours, and carbon‑ink detailing, the piece creates a tactile, almost geological surface where colour bands, scraped textures, and structural motifs merge into a fragmented cityscape.
Across the canvas, muted greys, greens, ochres, and soft reds form sediment‑like strata, while carbon ink lines suggest ancient brickwork, collapsed frameworks, and remnants of long lost structures. Circular forms, grid patterns, and elongated architectural shapes emerge from the layered paint, giving the impression of ruins partially revealed through erosion and time. The deep edge canvas enhances the sculptural quality of the work, allowing it to stand confidently without the need for framing.
This piece sits at the heart of your Experimental Studies, capturing your ongoing exploration of texture, archaeology, and imagined architecture. It offers viewers a glimpse into a world that feels both ancient and abstract - a district carved from stone, memory, and pigment.
