ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The act of invocation is represented in the painting as two blue columns straining towards each other (one descending in response to the appeal below, the other reaching upwards to the realm of the unseen). Blue is the colour of divinity and here it shines brightly against a background of greys representing a world which neither knows, nor believes in, the reality of a spiritual act, which an invocation is. The painting Invocation is a symbol of hope and promise. The artwork is painted on all sides and strung with wire for hanging, so the painting is ready to hang.

My paintings are abstract, with the underlying structure of early modernism. I like the power of icons and devotional paintings, as well as the painterly approach of expressionism, whether of the American or German schools. I tend to like the approach of European art and the confidence of American painting. I make positive paintings that depict universal ideals, while striving for simplicity in form and colour; paintings that reflect a better world for all and have an element of beauty and mystery to them. I hope my paintings have an initial appeal based upon form and colour, but that the paintings then reveal something more. My influences vary and range from ancient Egyptian to post-Modern. The most inspiring painters for me are Kandinsky, Rothko, Newman, Motherwell, Miró, Hoffman, Creme, Picasso, and Chagall. “Form and meaning give me the excuse to play with colour, my great love, and in the mix, a painting comes to life that occupies a space in the pictorial world.”
