Artist statement: I observe people and see the interaction
between male and female, the tension, the push-pull, the desire, the want, the
need, the rejection, the new love, the infatuation stage, the old love, the
complacent love. The interaction between the sexes, this is my inspiration. I
paint what I see like a ying yang being torn apart by modern day pressures and
the want of the balance of life returning unto itself. At the moment of
returning I introduce colour, shape, form, light, fill the negative spaces with
positively everything......
In the work ‘The
Observer’ it is about observing and processing what one sees, what one thinks
and feels about the input. By thinking and feeling the observation becomes
introspective. By creating a work of art the observer becomes the observed.
