Pink is the New Grey

This one has been sitting here unpublished for a while now... painted in late 2025: acrylics and acrylic marker on carton, ~50×60cm.

I had just discovered using stencils for my work and warmed up to acrylic markers for thin lines. I loosely covered the canvas in washes of the base colours, then needed to weight it down to keep it from curving too much. I then painted from background to foreground. The pink and blue parts are unmixed paints straight from the tube. The yellow string was drawn with a Posca acylic marker. It's yellow, so it's not 100% opayuq but close enough; I was horrified at the thought of doing it with brushes. For the abstract cityscape in the background, I used sculptor's knives - flat metal blades with no handle in different shapes, including straight edges. The windows have a lot of white mixed in to get some oapcity.

The painting is a wordplay on the saying that at night all cats are grey. I always thought people just said that, but now that I own a grey cat I can only say - they are practically INVISIBLE at twilight. It's uncanny. My black cats are still visible as absence of light at least.
