"Maiko Geisha" Painting

Edwin Barrington Lue-Shing Painter Born England 1962 Resides and works in London. Email: Artist Statement: Reflections of the 21st century "I aim to capture a frozen moment beyond the frame and to Use colour to unlock the sub-conscious of the character. The colour I use to express Emotional issues and problems of the character, I also try to acquire the spiritual And personal expression for each portrait I do. " Minority females are a major theme of my paintings. I am especially fond of the term "Less is more": a means through which I believe can thoroughly and delicately Express my feelings. About my subject. I stress careful depiction of my characters' Eyes and form, because I feel that eyes and the body vividly and truly reflect a Human being's soul. Characters in my work are often quiet and melancholy, a feeling Projected by the purples or red, pink backgrounds. I try to pass my feelings of the Subject through the tones of colour. I try to take out all detail and leave behind what I Believe is the essential soul of what makes that person who there are.
