Azul Grande

$75.00

In the summer of 2024, amidst the flow of landscapes and portraits emerging from the studio, something wildly uncharacteristic took form. I ventured into abstraction for the first and only time that year.

This work was a conscious rebellion against synthetic materials and plastic-heavy modern art supplies. I sought purity in material and process.

 

The Process: Viscosity in Motion

It's "a conversation between elements," where decisions made altered the chaotic yet strangely harmonious dance playing out on the surface. At moments, it felt more like a science experiment than a painting—a precise alchemy of natural materials, gravity, and motion.

The canvas was primed with a creamy white base, itself a mixture of chalky pigment and gum arabic. Over this, I applied the blue pigment suspended in a different concentration of liquid, dripping it with gently. The true magic happened not in the application but in the reaction.

The contrasting viscosities of the white and blue began to interact as they met on the surface. The heavier blue seemed to sink into the white while simultaneously spreading outward in tumultuous waves, creating rivulets, marbling, and fractal-like edges. The textures shifted with the tiniest touches and tilts, the blue carving paths through the white as if alive.

 

This piece, named Big Blue, is an ode to the potential of natural materials, an act of rebellion against the synthetic, and a deeply personal journey for me.

It wasn’t just about the blue. It was about stripping everything down to the core—no shortcuts, no synthetics, just the raw meeting of materials and intent. It may not be something I’ll do again, but it’s something I’ll carry with me in every painting I make.

Azul Grande remains the only abstract painting created by Seb Gower, a rare gem in a career defined by emotional connection.

Possibly get compliments like: 'Wow. You like great.' and 'Nice Shirt'.

Accidental paint, from your painting sessions, could make your shirt look even cooler.

Feedback From Collectors

“I needed to live with them before writing. Masterpieces. Your gift - a constant reminder to get out of MY prison. You have no idea how much I needed 'Expression'. It's like you know me. You have shocked me with your intuition and shocked me into change. A change I need. You allowed me to create through you... to create my own reality. To see what no-one else can. To live with what I choose to live with. Mine - all mine. “

“ I continue to repeat myself but I’ll say it again and again. This has been the most fun. Not many get to see their commissions videoed from start to finish. You have made it all happen and I’ll never forget it. You’re an amazing artist and a good friend as well. “

“ We absolutely love the painting. I took this video outside to show all the beautiful, amazing colors you used to create it. The natural daylight makes it come alive! That’s Haleakala Volcano’s summit in the background. Thank you so much Seb. It’s really incredible. “

“ I’m truly transported back to the place that the work depicts but even more the vibrant colors and light bring back the emotions I felt when I was there! I don’t have the words to truly express the gratitude I feel. I’m loving it!!! I definitely feel more emotions from it now that’s it’s here in person.“
