Placrylic™ to unveil two paintings made entirely of plants at the Sustainability Show in London this weekend
Two highly regarded English painters have employed placrylic to create sustainable luxury plant paintings
Placrylic™ is a patented sustainable plant paint that, like behaves like traditional oil paint in that you can work in layers. However, unlike oil paint, which typical requires titanium white paint and has a negative impact on ocean chemistry when washed down the drain, placrylic is 100% titanium free, marine friendly, and safe for use by artists
English Painter and Chemist, artist hana invented Placrylic™, the brand-new medium for artists, in 2020 to address the climate and health concerns modern artists are worried about
Juliet Petrarulo used harmonious natural placrylic colours to craft a painting that at first glance draws you in with aesthetics because of its resemblance to a luxurious marble design when really it depicts an aerial perspective of intelligent eels migrating into cleaner water because of a change in ocean chemistry
The use of eco yellow placrylic paint to depict ocean toxicity in her Eel painting is of particular interest as we can see the intelligent eel swimming through the yellow more ‘toxic’ water towards the blue hues in the painting that depict freshwater ocean
Birch Tree Migration by Vinatha Reddy is also on display at the sustainability show. Armed with the knowledge that some tree species may be able to migrate from their home range more than 60 miles in a century and a limited palette of Placrylic colours, Vinatha embarked on the abstraction of birch trees. Birch Tree and Eel Migration Paintings will be on view at the Sustainability Show in London this weekend
Sustainable art collectors will be able to buy Limited Edition Bamboo Giclée Prints of the works at the show
