Paint Splash Silk Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A riotous Fox & Chave printed silk tie with a design of splashes of paint in several bright colours over a pale blue ground.

Paint splash techniques, such as those most famously employed by Jackson Pollock, involve the spontaneous application of paint, often through dripping or throwing, to create dynamic, expressive compositions. Artists like Sam Francis and Janet Sobel employed splash techniques to explore abstraction and emotional depth. Sobel's 'drip technique' in particular offering heavy influence to Pollock.

These methods often focus on energy, movement, and chance, blurring the line between control and randomness. The technique challenges traditional notions of brushwork and composition, emphasising the act of creation itself. It invites viewers to experience the raw energy and visceral impact of paint, often invoking a sense of freedom and intensity.
