Artwork Description

Freeze in its current form was exhibited in a show called Three Painters. There is a clear division on a larger scale of two surfaces of curved shapes and an interplay or tension between the two surfaces of which is on top and which is the ground. While the division was in place for much of this paintings history, there was a slow revelation to the final internal stoke's placement and colour.

There are two other paintings started around the same time, namely Fight and Flight.

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.
