Neil Wedman
Ice Caves

Neil Wedman’s ice caves are created through a process of mixing and then significantly diluting acrylic paint, until it is as close as possible to the consistency of water. Holding the canvas vertically, the paint is carefully poured from a bottle down the surface. Each canvas is then expertly tilted or rotated to direct the flow of paint. This is where the medium and subject begin to echo one another—as the layers of liquid solidify, they resemble flowstone and other forms that might occur in an ice cave. The resulting paintings present a unique visual vocabulary which unveils itself slowly, where the subject is camouflaged by the same material method used to reveal it.
