About The Artwork

Pablo Picasso ( 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. Regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by the German and Italian airforces. Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 1906, the Fauvist work of the slightly older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles, beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists, who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art. Picasso's work is often categorized into periods. While the names of many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919), also referred to as the Crystal period. Much of Picasso's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style, and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism. His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles. Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Having no formal training or necessity to paint or draw as part of a career, my main drive and desire to draw is derived from a long lived personal fascination with people's faces and all they betray. One's face and expression always tells a story and the paintings are a snapshot into someone's life and a moment of transition or a key experience and life defining moment for that person. As a painter I am solely drawn to the face and care not for accuracy, form or detail, mainly interested in the light and how that works and illuminates. Having worked with oils, acrylics and brushwork, as are a few larger exhibits on show, my main technique is to build the portrait with a black marker pen to first boldly draw the face using outline, shading, cross hatching and traditional pencil and pen techniques as this can transfer an idea more effectively than a paintbrush. This establishes a strong starting point. I then paint to embellish and add colour and depth applied with brush, sponge, finger and a range of 'smearing' methods. Overall this produces a pleasing effect, utlilizes any skills in the right proportion and makes for a speedy process to keep things flowing and interesting to myself as I go through the creative journey and, with the best intentions, interesting to the observer afterwards.
