One of a series of two works influenced by some Aztec imagery I had recently seen. I used primarily blues, whites and reds, including some metallic pigments, and made use of expressive, gestural line to 'find' the form within the pieces. Totems are spirit animals, ones who appear in order to show you, through their unique nature, how to negotiate a journey. One can't choose a Spirit Animal, it chooses you, so in making these pieces I wasn't trying to manifest anything specific, rather just allow my 'Totems' to come into being by themselves. (I think I must have been needing something fairly fierce in my corner at the time). The paintings were made with the canvases rough mounted on studio stretchers. Once dry they had two coats of semi gloss varnish and the stretcher sides were finished in black. The studio stretchers were then removed and the canvases have been stored flat with plastic wrap protection. Dimensions correspond to the painted surface, the actual canvas is approximately 2 inches wider at each edge to allow for a choice of framing options

Spain
I'm Stuart Hyde, painter and fine art photographer, born in the UK's West Midlands in 1960, but now lucky enough to live and work in the Altiplano badlands of Granada province in Southern Spain. In addition to formal training, I studied with both the renowned British Post War artist Paul Rudall, 'Modern' to the core, and the markedly more traditional but no less successful English landscape painter W.R. Jennings. Even now, years later, my work still seems to veer between their respective, often polarising influences. Maybe more importantly, I still have the same daily joy in painting that these vastly different painters both had, and instilled in me. I consider myself primarily a painter/photographer of my environment, but one who occasionally flips out on the corner to find myself in a field of photographic or painted abstraction. It might be considered a somewhat schizophrenic approach, but I've learned to accept it and embrace the aberrations as they appear. Representative or abstracted, the outer landscape or an inner landscape, both my painted and photographic work is as concerned with subliminal impressions and memory, real or imagined, as it is with sketches and scribbled notes made painting plein air. Photos are interpretive, carefully and consciously avoiding any nods to documentation, while paintings use texture, form, and conscious line balanced against the randomness of intuitive mark making, and the emotional, expressive response to evolving surface and space.
