Eclipse in Blue Collage

*This piece is being show at the Affordable Art Fair in Chelsea. If you are interested in commissioning a similar work please contact Saatchi Art's advisory service to arrange. Thank you! * Eclipse in Blue is part of my "Deconstructed" series. These works are collage paintings that are based on abstracted urban landscapes that reference my long involvement in fashion and textiles. This piece is a diptych and is made of acrylic paint, textile and vintage dress patterns (each piece is framed individually with a thin black wood strip frame) I rip and cut and re-assemble painted textile into compositions that explore the relationships between shapes, where loose threads and torn edges find new meaning as expressive line. The series explores the addition of painterly mark-making and graphic elements within a collage surface using American, French and Japanese vintage dress patterns. The series takes on a somewhat cubist approach of representing all sides of an object through alluding to the pattern or plan which the object is first created. I invite the viewer to consider the relationships between the elements assisted by graphical prompts. The paintings can also be read as aerial views of urban development where space is compressed and the viewer's navigation between structures are either prompted or impeded.
