Blivet, 2012, acrylic and oil on canvas, 25 x 30 cm
Mobile Transmitter, 2012, acrylic on oil on
canvas, 40 x 40 cm
The paintings here were shown in Flatland an exhibition I curated at the
Blyth Gallery, Imperial College in London. These are a new series of works
where I have been exploring how we perceive three dimensional forms in a two dimensional
space. The shapes in the paintings are taken from doodles in my sketch book,
optical illusions and etchings of geometric forms which originate from the 17th
Century.
Perspective
of the Regular Solids Version 1, 2012, acrylic and oil on canvas, 60 x 40 cm
In my previous paintings, more often than not, the structure or
object is placed in a block colour background to propose a void and also to
concentrate on the form itself. A horizontal line sits beneath the structure
and grounds it in a space.
Zig-Zag, 2012, acrylic and oil on canvas, 60 x
70 cm
Sound Reflector, 2012, acrylic and oil on canvas, 60 x 70 cm
In Zig-Zag and Sound Reflector, I experimented with lines and shape to
suggest other spaces behind the object. Playing with the idea of the flipping
between the object and ground, I wanted the object to float just above the
ground.
