Since January 2010 I have been working on large scale figurative paintings and developing sketches for smaller, record(LP) size prints.
It is enjoyable to be painting the figure again after a number of years exploring colour through abstract compositions. In these works I want to push perspective and colour on the 8′ x 2′ plywood boards. Taking the phrase ‘They look up to you’ literally.
The 12″sq prints will be printed on plywood and then painted. They will be part of an exhibition at ‘This Ain’t Hollywood’ on James Street North in Hamilton, May 2010. The subject of the prints is the Rock and Roll audience and the prints themselves will have a component which involves audience participation. Weather permitting, a outdoor studio will be set up during the April 8, 2010 James Street North Art Crawl to complete the work for the exhibition in May.

I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
