This is an acrylic painting on canvas board, framed in a custom-made white wooden frame. The framed size of the artwork is 48.5 x 48.5 x 4 cm & it is ready to hang.

Over the last few years I have been engaged in a kind of phenomenology of colour, exploring many colour moods and conversations, responding to both literature and other painters’ works. The main impulse I have engaged with has been to disguise my handwriting as a painter. Printmaking tools are an excellent foil for playing with the controlled accident and allow one to develop multiple layers with both opaque and transparent glazes.

In my more recent working process I have found I’m favouring fewer colours. While chance is still a major factor in developing and creating the piece I find a discrete selection of colour and tones compelling.

This piece has a calm reflective quality. The painting holds the tension between surface and depth of colour. A lovely work to live with!
