"Finished?" - series
My exhibit for Discombobulate was a selection for three paintings from a series of twelve.
Previously presented in the Bonington building, the three paintings when shown alongside each other show off my painting style and my awareness of limitations, in this case the point at which the artist ceases painting. The painting on the left ceased at two or three layers of paint, the painting in the centre was four or six and the painting the the right saw over ten layers.
For me Returning to painting after a five year break was a pleasure and to be able to dedicate my time as I saw fit was very useful to my development. I painted with passion and felt an urge to create a lot of work. I’ve always lived by the phrase, “If you throw enough shit at a wall, some of it’ll stick.” So as I make a breadth of work, I then have curative control when it comes to the presentation of my work. I felt that working to this system was effective for me as I was very happy with what I presented and others sempt to respect the attitude I had shown.
My progress through the first term at Nottingham Trent University pleased my then tutor, Professor Terry Shave, a respected painter and 'Academic Team Leader' with 'Visual Arts'.
