Painted Men 5 Painting

This piece is based off men that Paul saw in India at Holi or the Festival of Colours. Throughout the festival, everyone smears different colours over each other to represent the blossoming of love. Anyone and everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, man or woman, children, and elders. "Artist Statement I have spent the last 15 years developing a painterly language through which I seek to capture a vitality beyond the establishment of a mere ‘likeness’ to the subject. Whilst I appreciate the importance of the subject being recognisable, they are glimpsed rather than exposed, their inner selves hinted at but ultimately inscrutable. Though I often work on a large, potentially imposing scale, the work remains immediate through fluency of brush mark and a rich palette. The spaces the subjects inhabit are often indeterminate, providing an atmosphere that allows for ambiguity of psychological state. The subjects retain their integrity and yet a sense of intimacy is evoked"
