even the technique does not apply Jayanand.
The paintings for which Pollock is most well known
were worked as horizontal surfaces.

The key features are the "gesture" and "stroke"
along with the many, many layers of paint applied with those gestures.

Don't think you'll find many "splotches" on a vertically worked surface;
with paint drips running down.
