Man and woman in a landscape number 2 Painting

This original painting is part of an ongoing theme that explores the representation of man and woman through symbolic colour and shape. This work represents 'Woman' being represented by a square and ‘Man’ being 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. Inspiration for this particular work comes from a life long fascination with minimalism, symbolism and colour theory. It is painted on paper because the fragility of this material represents the condition of human non-permanence. This is an original, hand painted acrylic painting where attention to colour harmony is paramount and the hard-edge lines immaculately executed. Finally, the surface of the painting is slightly revealing of brush stroke textures but also appears flat depending on the lighting conditions.
