“Bywalk Auras”

Series: Studies in Raw Material (A pivotal, stand-alone work) Medium: Acrylic on Canvas (framed) Dimensions: 60 cm 80 cm

The “Bywalk Auras” painting is a critical work in the artist’s practice, functioning as a pure visual document of the process of gathering Raw Material. Moving away from the systemic critique of the Clyde series, this canvas focuses entirely on the instantaneous, sensory transfer of energy and atmosphere (the “aura”) experienced during a brief walk.

Sensory Architecture

The palette is intentionally high-energy, dominated by intense yellows, oranges, and sharp vertical strokes of pink and deep red. This is the Visual Code for immediate, unfiltered emotional and sensory input—the “noise” of the environment before the Managed Process has been applied to categorize it.

The technique is defined by strong, vertical energy. The deliberate layering and scraping here emphasize the rapid, intuitive nature of the experience. Unlike the Clyde series, which imposes an intellectual grid to solve a conflict, “Bywalk Auras” celebrates the raw, chaotic beauty of the initial encounter. It is a necessary document of the environment’s pure influence on the psyche.

This painting is a testament to the Lived Art philosophy, proving that even the most fleeting emotional state is considered vital Raw Material—a building block for the larger, more complex Existential Blueprints that follow soon…
