50 x 50 x 2cm (unframed) / 50 x 50cm (actual image size)
£1,207.22
Original artwork description
Portrait in oil paint (on canvas) and a little bit of drawing. I am very inspired by people, especially faces, which hide/show/suggest emotions. I mainly paint people not realistic but recognisable. For me, the fun in painting is in the material that often does something I don't expect and I like to make use of that. Each painting is therefore a build-up of ever-new layers and residues of existing layers. Paint is allowed to spill out, skim, mix. Coincidence plays a big role, but I deploy it consciously. I like to constantly put something 'in between' the person depicted and the viewer, to break the built-up image each time. I am still finding greater freedom in this. (Incidentally, the people I 'portray' do not exist, I just 'sculpt' until a head does something to me).
