ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The subject is of an Japanese ‘Oiran’ woman, who were highly regarded courtesans and unlike the Geisha did supply sexual services. The basis was a life drawing done a decade before the painting and ‘mentally’ stored. Its resurrection and subsequent use in this painting is to highlight the visual dichotomy of the artificiality and naturalness of the Oiran. Painted on superior rolled canvas board. The work starts with an acrylic base coat of burnt orange. Paint is applied using Rowney Cryla pigment thinned with Liquidex airbrush medium. The layering of the work with washes allows for subtle tonal attributes that give depth and intensity. The overall result is an acrylic painting with a degree of luminosity rather than the usual flat acrylic finish. Finished with a coat of Winsor & Newton Satin UV varnish, this not only protects the painting, but has a unifying effect. A suggested frame width of at least 60mm or more for this size painting. Narrow frames on large paintings have tendency to not sit well and have a habit of warping.

Born in Gloucester and living and working in Cheltenham UK. I like to work in acrylic because it allows me to experiment, making changes quickly is paramount when wishing to explore your options. I suspect like most figurative artists I find drawing and painting the human form wholly embedded with human behaviour. The desire to secure more than a representation of a persons movement, the spilling of light over contours or the various other physical facets is the reason we continue to make paintings. To recast emotions in texture, colour and pattern and to make it still, perhaps this is a measure of a successful painting. I have sold work around the world, to individuals and organisations and have produced award winning public art (usually with a colleague) for various institutions.
