Paint splashing, also known as splatter painting, is an art technique that involves flicking or throwing paint onto a surface to create an image or design. It is a form of abstract painting that allows for a great deal of freedom and expression. Paint splashing can be used to create a variety of different effects, from delicate and ethereal to bold and dramatic.
The history of paint splashing can be traced back to the early 20th century, when artists such as Jackson Pollock and Yves Tanguy began to experiment with the technique. Pollock, in particular, is credited with popularizing paint splashing as a legitimate art form. He developed a technique called “dripping” in which he would pour paint onto a canvas that was laid on the floor. The resulting paintings were characterized by their chaotic and energetic lines and forms.
