Artwork Description

Barman harks back to when I was interested in lines in geometric forms. When drawing preparatory designs I enjoyed finding a figure in the lines which is here presented in green. As the figure is made up of bars I gave him the name Barman which also of course means a person who behind the counter in a bar.

Artist Bio

I am a visual artist with a hidden disability. I mainly paint in oil on canvas. My works celebrate the process of painting, embracing changes, accidents, and discoveries made along the way. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in lines in artwork. This interest has distilled to a point where I am painting only in lines. Lines come in many forms‚ the brush stoke‚ the mark‚ calligraphy. I love the way the patterns of lines build up‚ they merge from fields into traces of energy. I am interested in the harmonies and the joining of form and the different scales at which the lines form pattern.
