Original painting size : 150 x 200 cm, 59 x 79 inches

The original abstract oil painting is from the collection A door wide open … it’s a door which is open to the contradictions in life … maybe inviting reflection on that which we may consider mundane …

The style remains what I call “evocative abstract” – with its sense of quiet clarity and rhythmic composition. There is still the transparency that allows me to exploit subtly nuanced and balanced components and so create an alluring visual impression. Now though, there are more earthy colours and organic forms, bringing me the tranquility and strength I need in my art at this moment.

I continue to strive to transform ideas into emotion, expressed by texture and rhythm. I want the painting to evoke feelings, memories and images … stimulating an emotive recall to the conscious mind.
