Wade shows a unique skill for placement and patterning in this piece. Created with a background colour layer of vibrant pinks and mandarine over which he splashes and dribbles paint, then finally embellishes with posca paint pens.
This piece was created immediately following the success of his first major exhibition, Outside of Me and demonstrated an accelerated rate of growth.
This piece represents the initiation of a new phase of work and maturity and is Not For Sale
Words from Wade: I make flick flicks that spread out carefully. I used the big black poscas in here.
