On the abstract and the figure
A work in progress, showing close ups detail of a figurative abstract painting. Keep reading as next blog will reveal the whole picture. Thank you.
Digital Artwork
I have been experimenting and getting accustomed to my I Pad Art Rage software and whilst on holiday I sketched and worked on these pieces. I think they invoke reflection from the viewer as their personal feeling can give life to these images. I will be printing these work available at my Open Studio week in September (6th to 14th).
How the abstract talked to me.....
This film shows how an abstract mono print made earlier with a gelatine plate, "spoke" to me and it developed into the piece you see below....
Work in progress
The journey to abstracting the figure is on and here are my latest w.i.p.
Towards abstraction of the figure
I have embarked on a long journey: abstracting the figure. I love the human forms and the poses give me ground to dig into my soul. I am painting with scratches and scribbles which represent the scars we all carry on our bodies as well as the emotional scars in our hearts. The figures are surreal: they are my feelings, my thoughts. The painting below is part of this journey.
