Acrylic on gesso board
h: 60 w: 60 d: 2 (cms).
I used sections from some of my small collage still lifes as reference for this painting. I wanted to experiment with painting on gesso board and enjoyed the chalky, graphic quality of the result. I have for some years made collages that are so detailed that they look like paintings and with this picture I wanted to reverse that idea by making a painting that looks, in some areas, like a collage. I particularly relate to the still life work of the Cornish artists, past and present, who flatten shapes and experiment with textures, colour and the drawn line in a way that combines abstraction with figuration. I wanted to reflect that appreciation in this painting.
