Twenty-five year old, Toronto-based artist Amy Shackleton paints these lusciously drippy paintings without use of a brush or fingers, instead she relies on good old gravity (and occasionally string as a guide) to move the paint slowly across the canvas in delicately controlled pours.
Amy Shackleton has exhibited paintings in New York, London, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary. Shackleton's work was recently selected for purchase by the Colart Collection in Montreal. Shackleton received her BFA Honours Degree from York University. She paints full time from her new studio space in Toronto.
The video below captures the somewhat tedious yet brilliant process in detail, as a 30-hour painting session condensed into two minutes. Unbelievably amazing and beautiful. The video shown the artist work at 800x speed, creating a new urban landscape painting, "Terraced City."
