"A Pink Cloud Breakfasts Alone" Fine Art Print

If natural forms are the archetypal structures giving his work its grammar, it is Waite's affinity with colour and the many unspoken, poetic languages and realms it conveys, that is central to the intuitive, expressive compositions. Lively, spontaneous, sometimes paint laden, sometimes dry, with wide brushstrokes, linear gestural motifs and colour balancing, layers are added, scraped, scratched and worked into over several weeks. Canvases are often left turned to the wall so as to see them afresh at each reworking. Gradually the alchemy of paint, the unconscious and the imagination, on the now textured and multilayered surface, reveals the hitherto unknown and unseen. The resulting work is only considered complete if the painting, whose contours may have initially grown out of the South Downs or other loved locations, now speaks to the poetry of places that reside in long lost and longed for imaginings.
