Press Release ART271

The main subject of my work explores the relationship between colour and figure, and how by doing so an emotion can be powerfully portrayed through a piece of work. Influenced mainly by Vincent Van Gogh, I carefully choose the composition of the models within my piece and equally as carefully choose the colours that would best suit the emotion I am trying to translate through my work. I mainly use watercolour in my pieces, adding water and droplets of colour in no particular order; this allows the watercolour to explore the surface of the canvas freely so that the finished piece is more of a collaboration between myself and the paint. I also use a white ink pen upon completion to highlight the main features and create a stronger overall look.
