NH494‘Do Not Deny Me Your Love’26 x 34 inches 66 x 86.5 cm Acrylic on Canvas 2018
The structure of this painting relies on a complex interplay of predominantlycurved shapes which allow for a flowing passage for the eye through a complex ofcounterbalancing directional forces. Unlike in many of my paintings, there is very little in the way of cast or attached shadows, with the result that pattern much more thanpictorial space characterises the painting. The painting's subject matter gives rise toquestions about the nature and possibilities of depiction and about the number andvariety of stages of visual processing involved.
