Da McLaren (b. 1967) turned to painting in December 2021 which squarely places Divine Geometry as early work (his 20th to 31st paintings). This series of micro-pointillist surfaces are created by layers of raw powder pigments on plywood or canvas, in geometric divisions, fixed with varnish and permanent UFA. The result is like sandpaper to the touch but velvet to the eye. Up close, or from a distance, these works show a graceful arrangement and a resonance of interacting colour. Such qualities are unable to be reproduced in print.
