ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Behind each individual stands the Self. It is that which seeks to demonstrate through the man or woman in our physical world. It is not physical in the strictly speaking sense; rather it needs to reflect itself through a soul and then a personality. Its nature is a living fire and it is the impulse that drives the person to express themselves in one way or another. This is the third in a series of paintings expressing the thought of the Self. The artwork is painted on all sides and strung with wire for hanging, so the painting is ready to hang.

My paintings are abstract, with the underlying structure of early modernism. I like the power of icons and devotional paintings, as well as the painterly approach of expressionism, whether of the American or German schools. I tend to like the approach of European art and the confidence of American painting. I make positive paintings that depict universal ideals, while striving for simplicity in form and colour; paintings that reflect a better world for all and have an element of beauty and mystery to them. I hope my paintings have an initial appeal based upon form and colour, but that the paintings then reveal something more. My influences vary and range from ancient Egyptian to post-Modern. The most inspiring painters for me are Kandinsky, Rothko, Newman, Motherwell, Miró, Hoffman, Creme, Picasso, and Chagall. “Form and meaning give me the excuse to play with colour, my great love, and in the mix, a painting comes to life that occupies a space in the pictorial world.”
