Completed Mixed-Media Piece: 'Fridge 4'

'Fridge 4'  Acrylics, Paper Collage, Ink, Spray Enamel, French Polish, Screen-Print
& Magnetic Letters On Salvaged Refrigerator Door, 47 cm X 50 cm, 2018

Having recently completed the tenth and final piece in my 'Flagging' series - it was time to get back to  my mixed-media fridge door pieces.  Here's the recently completed 'Fridge 4'  Pleasingly, this one came together fairly quickly over recent days - after I'd done the initial ground work over the Christmas period.

Like each of the existing 'Fridge' pieces, this is a combination of mixed media, collage, screen printing and fridge magnet letters - all compiled on a salvaged refrigerator door.  The text is another excerpt from my 'Below The Line / Beneath Contempt' text - itself a linking thread throughout my overall 'This S(c)epic Isle' project.  With abandoned fridges being a key motif within the project - it's fortuitous that their doors also make great painting supports.

I'm becoming quite a connoisseur of them, and this is an unusually dinky example - found in a West Leicester back street.  It features a pleasingly sculpted handle arrangement and an unusual integral lock - which makes me wonder exactly what this little fridge once contained.

There's not much else to report really - other than that Number Five is following close behind.
