Structure 1 Print

This painting is one of an ongoing series where I have taken a 'mystically inspired' doodle as inspiration for a finished oil painting. Experimental methods of meditation, esotericism and Surrealism are used to create the initial image. I hope to take the more unconsciously made drawing and bring it into control by using my painting skills to fully realise the forms. 'Structure 1' is the first in a series within that series that explores the piling up of Surreal remains to reflect both the external detritus of mankind, as well as aspects of internal psychology. I wanted the forms to be both playful and cartoon-sinister, like a dream of a fun fair ghost train in atmosphere. I feel that this is an important painting in my journey as an artist.
