Artist's Statement The foundation
of my work originates from the relationship between Art and Music. I wanted
to create a link between colour, shape and sound. My abstract paintings
were based on colour studies exploring how colours can stimulate feelings
and emotions within a person, and the different meaning each colour has,
and its power to evoke a certain response from the viewer. From experimenting
with colour my paintings became more illusional. I tried to create the
illusion of movement, stimulating the eye into seeing things which may
or may not be there, almost like a magic-eye image. Each painting is individual,
painted in gloss onto aluminium or board. Each dot is painted freehand
using a brush. I use gloss paint and aluminium for their reflective qualities
and find it helps to enhance the optical effect of my work. The natural
progression of my work led me to incorporate images within the dots. I
then began to experiment with imagery and to create dot portraits. I wanted
to paint famous icons known for their beauty. The images I work from help
me to create a perfect likeness and because of the perfect and plastic
like finish of gloss and the meticulous execution, the paintings depict
a flawless image the same way the media create an image of the icon. The
images also work on an optical level. As you look at the image directly
the variety and definition of colour and tone is lost and the portrait
almost becomes a silhouette. It's only when you stand off centre the image
comes alive and the portrait appears. For sales, commissions and to send comments to the artist.
