In this vibrant work, Martyn Dempsey continues his exploration of contemporary abstract painting, utilising a dynamic "splash" technique that emphasizes raw energy and spontaneous movement. The composition is characterized by bold, expressive sweeps of primary and secondary colours—dominated by deep reds, sunny yellows, and forest greens—that intersect and overlay on a bright white field.
The painting demonstrates a sophisticated mastery of mixed media formats, blending fluid, watercolour-like washes with textured, granular applications of pigment. Dark blue vertical drips anchor the piece, creating a sense of gravity that contrasts with the energetic, horizontal "splashes" of red and green.
Reflecting Dempsey's signature museum-scale interpretive quality, Splash Art Contemporary captures the atmospheric light and tranquility often inspired by his time in Cornwall and Sri Lanka. The work serves as a high-energy study of colour and form, inviting the viewer to experience the visceral "process" of creation that is central to Dempsey's evolving contemporary practice.
