Man and woman in a landscape with their shadows, number 2 Painting

Art work synopsis: The painting, 'Man and woman in a landscape with their shadows, number 2', is an individual piece to be acquired separately from the ‘Man and woman, series 2.’ When a new series is created, two versions, (and only ever two), are painted so that a collector has the option to invest in the complete series or if they prefer, just a single painting. This individual painting is different to it’s twin in the series because it is larger and is characterised by unique brush stroke textures. By this definition, all these painting are original. Theme and symbolic meaning: All the painting that deal with the 'Man and Woman' theme, look 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 seductive colours are chosen to evoke certain atmospheres. Inspiration for the work comes from a life long fascination with colour theory, minimalism and symbolic language. Technical: The texture of the painting is slightly revealing of subtle brush strokes but the surface also appears flat depending on the lighting conditions. Hard-edge lines, which are integral to the art works character, have been immaculately executed using acrylic on paper. One of the reasons paper has been chosen to execute the painting, is because the fragility of paper can be seen to represent the condition of human non-permanence.
