Curves

Abstract - figurative Acrylic 30 inches wide x 40inches deep Portrait on deep box canvas. Curves is about form and structure. Male and female. The background which appears not be so significant - at first appraisal is actually built up of layer upon layer of soft and heavy bushstrokes - thinned and thin to thick applications of impasto paint. Once close to the painting and ignoring the female form you find structure of straight lines, angles - ' blocked in ' spaces of solid colour, each washed over yet findable and definable. Areas in relief are discovered by observation or by the change of light of the day, revealing a background which moves and has a purpose in the structure of the whole. In stark contrast we have the plain yet simple and beautiful form of the naked female. Please note the figure is lifesize.
