‘Shadows 6 - with Yellow Table Leg’
18 x 18 inches 45.5 x 45.5 cm Acrylic on Canvas 2016
A complex interplay of curved forms creates the structure of the image. Although it is
clearly based on objects, in this case outdoor metal tables against a paved ground, the
importance of the image lies in its’ abstract qualities and the contrast between strong, solid
colour and translucent shadows cast on the mottled paving stones. The composition is
thoughtfully controlled with delightful incidents such as the hollow circle of the table structure
resting in the centre of the cast shadow and flow of the curved shapes leading the eye around
the picture.
