About The Artwork
This is a bold and colourful still life rendered in brightly coloured oil pastel and collage in a naive and simplified style. Brixton is an area in London with a high population of Afro Caribbeans. The colours, vibrancy and energy of this work reminded me of the noise, bustle and laughter that characterises the area. The image shows a bowl of fruit on the floor of my studio and includes a radiator in the background that adds a graphic and utilitarian aspect to the composition. The pastel and collage are layered onto of a base of cardboard that was primed with a yellow ochre coloured gesso. This shows through in small patches between the drawn marks. The painting uses 2 separate sheets of card and so is a diptych.

I am a visual artist based in London. My paintings are either entirely abstract or loosely figurative with an autobiographical theme. I work from memory and loose studies, with an emphasis on colour and bold mark-making and an interest in pattern. I am also the founder of Sketchout, the company that runs drawing workshops in London museums and my book "The Big Painting Challenge" is available online.
