Original artwork description
“In The Wink Of An Eye” - study” is an acrylic study painting 30x40cms on 300gm canvas paper. It is set in an off-white card window mount approximately 40.5 x 50.5cms. The painting is one of several studies made in preparation for a larger canvas painting.
Much of my work is inspired by music and the written word. “In The Wink Of An Eye” takes inspiration from the poetry of Roy Harper directly from his epic composition “The Game – parts 1-5” 1975. Some of Roy Harper’s lyrics are used in the image.
“The next age is born and the old hands are gone and done in the wink of an eye, No point in passing bad reason good guessing, no time for massing much more than can flourish with love”
The painting was also inspired by reflecting on the notion of the pace of change, sometimes from a position of stability to one of chaos beyond our personal control.
The painting is purposefully equivocal. It is intentionally ambiguous. It doesn’t define an outcome or solution. It is a natural human condition. The formal elements of the work suggest openings, entrances and doorways. The colours and surfaces are blurred and almost ambient. The composition of shapes form ambiguous relationships that question the principles of perceptual organisation.
The work is also inspired by reference to abstract expressionists John Hoyland, Barnett Newman, Hans Hoffman, Robert Motherwell and Mark Rothko.
The painting is shipped in a large reinforced envelope.
