Oil on acrylic on canvas
I am a writer as well as a painter, and my artwork implies stories. There is even a flavour of film posters in these ones! In 1890, the ship in which my great-grandfather was First Mate, disappeared between New York and Calcutta. In 1891, his MP requested that a naval vessel search some deserted islands on the route for possible survivors. This was refused. Nothing and no-one was ever seen again. I have used words, as well as expression, gesture and colour, to suggest the emptiness for his family. |
