Artworks by Phil Randles

If there is a common factor in the work I have produced it is to produce images that are striking both in terms of subject matter and colour.I believe art should 'move' and affect the viewer.  Love it or hate it art should stand out and be seen and not blend into the wallpaper.

Consequently, the figurative pictures I create feature strong heads and torsos with impact and dynamism.  The images tend to be either strong heads or close ups of dancers in the act of dramatic expression.  The dancers are created on very thick, decalled paper from which I dig out layers and chunks to leave a textured base to build up the picture using acrylic paint and charcoal. Pretty they are not but they cannot be ignored.
