The Artist Outside his studio with new painting / 2016
There is something about seeing the true colours of a painting in the natural, pure daylight which I just love.
Getting a decent photograph outside in the English weather is often a challenge, especially when it's nearly always raining like it has been this summer, to timing is key.
The natural light exhibits the authentic, aesthetic quality of the paint at its best. You can feel the colours jumping out at you, wrapping around you, embracing in all their beauty.
The
asymmetrical balance in this work supports the larger range of clear colours. Following Kandinsky,
intuition is a guide in the process of constructing the layers of colour.
Despite the abstract imagery, my paintings act in an interpellative manner to engage the subjectivity of the viewer, whilst also imparting an energizing, positive sense of possibility. Most important to me is to animate the viewers’ space with a stimulating appreciation of movement and vivacity.
This
painting, with its unconstrained energy, aspires to music, having its own
rhythm, flow and emotion.
