Migration | Transience 122x152cm / 48" x 60" Painting

The Migration series sprang out of 1st Paper Plane painting inspired by art installation The Thousand Means of escape. The fascination with dynamic geometry, symmetry and perfect visual balance was a strong enough way to inspire simply painting the artwork like a still life of that physical installation to start with. However over the years as the subject persisted to invoke inner dialogue the powerful message that was initially seeded started to sprout. Not only the paper planes became a symbol of a broken relationship reference (departure, rising to city's and busy empty communities' challenges, going blanc, aspiration to fit in at a cost of your personality etc - spoken in previous cloudy paintings ), its also evolved into current reincarnation removing unnecessary, focusing on two. The way I see it is a happy end. It's the reflection on my own life where I have cocooned myself into this reality of being quite content with less people in my life and enough space to myself and my partner. There is always a strive for balance between the light and darkness in that reality (deeper sky background, light emotion that surfaces with the image of the paper plane). Care and support for each other that manifests throughout the canvas. Going places together. Becoming a wingman. Build your glorious sunset or sunrise to walk away into. Its more of a metaphor of how beautiful the world could be when its just you and me. Utopian. Removing unnecessary noise. Details. Keeping it focused. Geometry as you can see - still very much at core. But its slicker, concise, deeper, to the point Size: 48"x60" (2 cm white edge) unvarnished shipped in a tube rolled unstretched can be viewed in my art studio in Berkshire(UK) i do accept commissions with size / colour specific please enquire
