‘Shadows 1 - Grey Metal Table’
18 x 18 inches 45.5 x 45.5 cm (25.5 inches / 65 cm diagonal) Acrylic on Canvas 2014
A square on its diagonal becomes a lozenge shape that creates a more dynamic
composition as it introduces an element of instability. The curves of the metal table top and legs
participate in this instability as they relate to the edges of the canvas. The cast shadows create
echoes and continuations of these curves and arabesques and the limited mostly grey palette
of colours ensure that attention is not diverted from them. The picture is held in a gently
dynamic balance.
