This style goes back to my early years in painting before I became a conceptual artist and then a realist.

I was a big fan of the Neo-Impressionists, Van Gogh and Les Fauves.

In this work I try to capture the loneliness - or perhaps the solitude? - in a train as it travels through the suburbs in a quiet midmorning after the rush.

The passengers here are motionless, caught in their own reveries or daytime nightmares. They don’t speak to each other. They just stare at the moving landscape or the door at the end of the interior “tunnel” until the voice announces they have reached their destination.

I like the way the rich colours here contrast with the theme of loneliness.
