New Paintings I

These are my latest paintings, all acrylic on canvas board (30cm x 30cm). I’m working hard trying to get some new pieces together for the Take Four group show in Beaumaris which opens this Saturday 14th August. In these pieces I’m focussing on the human figure as sculpture in order to investigate how we use memory/pattern recognition to interpret what we see. I’m trying to keep in mind Picasso (as always), David Bomberg’s early work, especially The Mud Bath and Vision of Ezekiel, Matisse’s cutouts and Nicolas de Stael’s footballers.
