BLUE MONOCHROME Painting

When I create paintings I work on birch panels. The surfaces of the panels are built up through intense layering and sanding back of oil paintThis creates a physical sense of depth in my paintings.  These layers relate to the way in which layers are built up and worn down through the natural process of time in nature. The layering process also helps to create a sense of "Yugen" an Asian concept which means inexpressible depth or invisible beauty.  This idea arises from the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi - Sabi which describes the inexpressible beauty which things especially natural objects attain with the passage of time. It incorporates the idea of the beauty of imperfection and irregularity or roughness and avoids ornamentation in structure.
