Man and Woman, series number 2, 2020 Painting

This is the second series from an ongoing set of paintings that looks into the expression of man and woman through symbolic colour and shape. 'Woman' is represented by a square and ‘Man’ is represented by a line. These universal shapes have been given meaning by the artist and are placed in an abstract landscape of equally balanced sky and earth. The use of colour is used to evoke certain feelings and atmospheres and inspiration for this particular work comes from the artists life long fascination with minimalism, symbolism and colour theory. These are original works and are painted in acrylic where attention to colour harmony is critical and the hard-edge lines are immaculately executed. Finally, they are painted on paper because the fragility of this material represents the condition of human non-permanence. Other technical notes: The surface of the paintings are slightly revealing of brush stroke textures but also appears flat depending on the lighting conditions.
