new things in 'natural forms'

I'm busy reviewing past work and dealing with logistics for the show in September at the moment, but some new paintings are starting to appear....

The potential of the simple circular form seems to be endless. I keep thinking that I want to move out to jagged lines and other kinds of shape, but the circles don't seem to have ended themselves yet. It's almost as if it doesn't matter what the basis of the repetition/novelty is - with the vastness of colour and the possibilities of differing scale there seem to be an untold number of worlds to explore, just staying limited to one basic shape...

But I am feeling the need to work out from the circles somehow. These strings have appeared - biological threads, viscous connections, sticky strands...

looking again

Always interesting to do a review....

wrapping around the last three years

I was just nicely getting into my Mattancherri response there, when I unexpectedly got the chance of a show in September. This has redirected me. Mattancherri is a momentum, but for now, this show is about pulling together what I've done over the last three years. The colours of India, which  have been growing into what I'm doing for the last nine months, are now completely taking over, and I'm back into my 'natural forms' ....
