‘Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect’
Tate Gallery
I’m really enjoying working with the brilliance and immediacy of acrylic paint. After using oil and cold wax for most of my recent large scale pieces the ability to create imagery so swiftly and spontaneously is a delight and a revelation. Complementary colour contrast is the guiding principle for this series of paintings and the influence of Cubism is clearly evident in the multiple facets and repetition of geometric shapes. I haven’t yet decided how far to push this study and there is always the ever-present danger of overcooking the various ingredients, only time will tell. Let me know your thoughts, I would love to hear them.
