Wave, 2019, mixed media on canvas, 58.5cm H x 41cm W ( framed)


Statement:  The white form in the bottom right of ‘Wave’ pushes upward and pushes and curves into the open passages.  There is a vulnerability in the white, but also strength and the curve is balanced by the conflicting warm-cool areas.


This series of work that relates to concepts ‘Where the Sea meets the Sand’ and explores underlying underling suspension, structure and fluid forms. Like a tide,  undercurrents, formal constructs  and rhythmical lines dissolve and change from  positive to negative space. These abstract works seek to capture a sense of openness and infinity. Forms are architectonic, but informal accidents and textures are found with line, and Tachist approaches. This exhibition has a limited blue colour range with pockets of yellow, black, white and ochre.  Some work has warm pockets of colour that contrasts against the cool and white passages and are associated with feelings that relate to submerging, flesh and the impact of the ocean on the body. This body of work  seeks to capture rhythms that are evoked from the sea - from sea spray, to a sense of floating. There is reference to  breath, stillness, grace and structural strength.
