Not really a painting as such.... The image is made up of 100 individually hand-dyed squares of sycamore veneer. The squares are bordered by a layer of plain sycamore veneer which acts as a mount and the whole is framed in a very dark violet wooden frame. Each square of veneer is carefully edge joined to its neighbour to create the pixelated pattern. The image shows a bunch of flowers - a red rose leaning off to the left and a sunflower top right with green foliage in the centre; the background is mauve and violet. The complete picture is lacquered with a very clear acrylic lacquer which contains an ultraviolet filter to prevent the colours fading in sunlight; even so, as with all brightly coloured items, it's based to keep it out of direct sunlight.

Kevin Stamper works in wood and wood veneers and uses form, colour and texture as the key elements of his work. He pushes the boundaries of what is normally achievable with the medium of solid wood and wood veneers, utilizing the nature of the material to add drama to his compositions. After a recent back injury, he has moved away from making the large furniture pieces he has become known for and now focusses on using his experience and craft skills to create abstract wall-hanging art pieces. The new work is an extension of his practice in furniture and is made to the same exacting standards but allows for a much greater degree of freedom and experimentation. “As a natural material, timber has an energy of its own and after years of trying to accommodate and control this force, I now relish the notion that the wood will twist, warp, split and crack of its own accord, creating new and dynamic shapes and textures. I give the work a starting point and a general direction in which to proceed, the material then takes over and finds its own path to completion.” He mainly works in two timber types, burr oak and plain sycamore. The burr oak is fumed with ammonia to give it a deep brown tone that makes it sometimes hard to identify on first sight; viewers have confused it with beaten steel and old leather amongst other things. The sycamore is hand-dyed using dyes that allow the natural grain patterns of the wood to shine through and add lightness to the composition when cut into squares and arranged in pixelated patterns. The juxtaposition of the deep brown oak and the brightly coloured sycamore squares creates a vivid landscape which the viewer can reflect upon and interpret in their own time. By its nature, the work is very tactile with undulating waves and contrasting textures in the rough open grained oak and the smooth polished sycamore inviting the viewer to touch and feel the warmth of the material. All pieces are finished with a very clear acrylic lacquer which protects the timber and helps to prevent the colours fading in sunlight.
