Rave Paintings

Rave paintings, Ideas.
another quick sketch, or prep sketch, for the rave ideas, I'll will paint it once I've found the right ideas to build up a composition, i should do some oil sketches next to get the lighting and values, the woods where dark apart for the lighting rigs, strobes, UV lights, lasers and coloured lights and smoke, fog machines, a lot of the paintings will be in sharp shadow with colours reflected on the skin of the ravers from the different coloured lighting, to the strobes used that captured the rain drops beautifully like diamonds each time it rained, with each flash the light, they where flashing at speed to the 4x4 beat of acid house-rave music.
the traces from peoples movement while dancing, the diamond like rain drops and colours will make this painting pretty abstract.
Too fully capture the atmosphere, just painting static figures like these drawings will make this series non interesting.
Apart from the oil sketches, its going to be about 5 or more main paintings that will be large for this series, I'll prob make it mixed media with spray paint, acrylic and oils.
The next paintings in this series which I've not even drawn yet will be paintings after the raves, the cool blue air, early morning light, the dead of the city centre, with other party/ravers, pigeons and seagulls chasing and following with the council cleaning trucks like they are transformer toys from the future.
Seen through surreal eyes while the certain substances begun to wear off, roads still moving like the sea anything moving fast like flying birds and the odd cars add long with traces behind them. Like something from back to the future.
All this will be all from memory's too to celebrate the biggest youth movement since punk-rock, and the counter-culture which it had a lot in common with, like the second summer of love in 1988.
The House and Rave movement is still going on just not in the media, theve had there feast back in 88.

A tune from then, that reminds me of the above 808 state

Another page of drawings, I seen something about ballet on the stret, to me certain gymnastics go hand in hand in with break-dancing, anyway just ideas for now, I wish I looked after all my old sketch pads and drawings and outlines I sold some and lost many more.
