As Life Goes #1 Painting

This particular body of work is a follow on or deeper exploration of my initial works. Early on in my painting journey I was most interested in capturing patterns and fabrics within a scene or visualised on a face or body as a flat image, but each time as the paintings took shape, I would naturally end up insisting on painting painting the shadows, highlights and contours of the objects, giving them a life-like feel. Although this was never an original intention, I realised that this must be something within my hand that subconsciously keeps wanting to come out. At university, I studied printed textile design and looking back now I can see that my main interest was in visualising the patterns on an object or illustrated body more than the actual fabric designs themselves.  Created as part of a series of three interrelating oil paintings on linen. The fabric contours distort the painterly stripes like gradients on a map, disappearing and appearing again at an opposed angle, offering movement and change of pace. While the three images don't flow into each other and would work equally well as a singular image or a duo, they each have their own sense of space and story while creating an impactful family as a triptych together. Finished with a rustic gold leaf edge that bleeds onto the front of the canvas, catching the light. Ready to hang.
