‘Shadows 17 - White Church 2’
28 x 60 inches 71 x 152.5 cm Acrylic on Canvas 2017
This image, based on a white roofscape seen against a dark sky, plays with the
complexity of the fall of light on the structure which is made up of flowing curved shapes and
sharp, crisply defined blocks. The shapes created by the cast shadows are every bit as
important to the composition of the picture as the shapes found in the building itself. All the
edges are crisp and sharp, but there are gradations in the shadows which add to the
monumental quality of the image.
