surrealist‚ impressionistic landscape. A towering light bulb shines out over rich blue waters.
Giant light bulbs are recurring images in my works. They can be a sign of environmental struggle‚ attempts to control or to repair the environment. The title - Utopia One - can be taken at face value or with some cynicism. It is a scene of beauty and leisure‚ but Utopias always have an underlying sense of unease.
The sky and the sea are phthalo blue‚ the land is cadmium yellow and red‚ yellow ochre‚ titanium white‚ and burnt umber. The brushwork is fluid and impressionistic.
