Wake Up and Smell The Coffee Floyd Painting

This Painting was created in the first year of my transformation from a figurative to an abstract expressionist artist. Surface preparation, surface texture and surface character had become nothing short of an obsession, leading me to an innumerable repertoire of skills and ideas under the umbrella of experimentative use of paint. In the end, I realised that I was probably more interested in the paint itself and what effects, surfaces and outcomes I could achieve than any sense of representationalism. That said, my work retains a pictorial essence, one that I embrace and expand upon more so than try to erase or deny. So it's fair to say, inevitably, that my two mindsets collided and some fusion had subliminally taken place, bringing to the fore a style and working method of my own, unique in its nature and new to my understanding of myself as an artist. This work is a key example of what I produced in that era, it was built up and almost sculpted over a period of 10 months, so along the way it picked up and manifested a plethora of the themes and emotions that were influencing my work. What remains is a portrait or even landscape of what was occurring in my life and my artistic development, a true relic of the year during which it was produced, now over a decade ago. Until now I have refrained from making this and other works from the time period public...
