About The Artwork

A seemingly fairly straightforward painting... I've designed this painting to work as a simple silhouette on a warm textured background but have also included hints of detail within the figure to draw the viewer in. Although the pose is on one level self-explanatory - a defined female figure in a fairly acrobatic pose - there is no explanation as to why she is in that pose and where she is. What is happening here and why... I've tried to make the figure and the background make sense and work together using a simple and constant palette throughout. By including small amounts of information in the vibrant yellow (mainly texture) I have tried to unify the background with the limited information in the figure itself. In a way the yellow is forced upon this painting - highly unlikely to be seen in real life. But I'm hoping it makes sense to the viewer, creating a pretty warm painting despite the main focus being a simple, dark monochrome figure.

Overview As you can see I specialise in capturing the female form - subtle, classical nudes in oil, charcoal, graphite and red chalk. Born in Henley, I spent most of my adult life in London, Hong Kong and Dublin. I am now happily settled in Windsor. I abandoned a career in publishing at the age of 40 to follow my lifelong passion - drawing and painting. I trained at a leading art college in London and was then taught by Michael Clark, who knew Francis Bacon very well (and incidentally the only person to draw him in the flesh). My work has been included in the books ‘Images of Women in Art’ and ‘Musings of Miss Yellow’. As well as being a stay-at-home Dad, I now paint from my Windsor studio and run my own life-drawing classes at the Windsor Art Centre. Testimonial “Patrick Palmer is a modern master of figurative art. His post-romantic nudes are not only exquisitely painted, but also dreamy, delicate and suggestive. They only hint at sensuality and evoke fantasy in the subtle and elegant manner that distinguishes art from pornography.” Claudia Moscovici, Co-founder of postromanticism.com and art critic (“Romanticism and Post-romanticism”, Lexington Books, 2007).
