Mud... Painting?


Spotted recently in two publications...




This Belgian apartment features mainly white walls in the minimalist fashion of British designer John Pawson.
He invited another Brit, artist Richard Long, to apply his artistic sense in any way he saw fit. Long has created mud paintings all over the world. He ended up bringing his own mud from the river Avon in England to get the specific color he was looking for.




Long applied the mud with only his hands, plunging them into a bucket of mud and then slapping and flicking it onto the wall. The mud provided a textured foil to the spare interior. 

 


The new Anthroplogie catalog also gives prominence 
to the look of mud painting.










It certainly is a dramatic look for the right space!




What do you think of the painting with mud look?
