Bouy 17 Painting

b.Cork, Ireland 1969. Using abandoned, often threatening panoramas of land and sea, these expressionistic paintings hold both historical and social references. A sense of elusiveness is central to these mood-orientated images, where through alienating colours and strong atmospheric effects, these paintings portray an unnerving picture of nature. Symbolically significant materials such as tar, pigment and earth has been worked into the paintings.
