About The Artwork
The painting was inspired by Baroque painter 'Zurbaran', a Spanish painter who's compositions often featured drapery and strong light sources. It focuses upon an area of drapery taken from a painting entitled 'The Martyrdom of'. I liked the arrangement of fabric and the folds, patterns and shapes. I then arranged some fabric in my studio in much the same way as in the painting by Zurbaran, and made an observational drawing , which I have included amongst the images featured. This connection with another painting gives the work a historical context and narrative. The painting also operates on an illusionary basis as a Trompe i'oeil, providing the possibility that the drapery may actually be real and a potential interior feature. I then used the observational drawing to base the painting on. The painting is in artist quality oil paint on a linen support.

United Kingdom
I am a painter based in East London (Hackney). I have a small studio and work from arrangements of objects. I usually base my ideas around disposable items, fabric and plastic/containers. Referencing a number of artists from different periods I tend to work from direct observation and use a limited palette. I also sometimes employ and create carefully corriographed photographs and use a camera obscura for compositional purposes. Subjects are selected for their reduced colour. I am interested in ambiguous arrangements of objects and spatial illusion.
