Almost Formless 2013, Watercolor and Ink by Ed Tajchman

This is another of my recent watercolors. It is tentatively called Almost Formless May 2013. In my more formless paintings there usually seems to emerge some kind of unintentional although personally relevant figures or imagery that someone I know points out to me later. Unintentional in the sense that I didn't consciously intend for them to be there. But of course part of the beauty of the creative process is how the imagery from the psyche emerges anyways, despite a conscious effort to hold it back. So I need some way to catalog the work until a moment like that happens. Maybe not to dis-similar to how Jackson Pollack named some of his works.

For a long time I painted almost only formless works (the process and thought behind of which, you can read about on past posts of this blog). This new style that I am now beginning to reveal here are works from the past 3 years and they combine figurative, symbolic and formless elements to varying degrees. This is one of the more formless ones. As I said last post, subscribe to this blog and my twitter feed - @EdTajchmansArt for more updates of these works.
