“The second painting was ‘Elysian Fields’. Again, the landscape influences the composition
with rectangular field shapes interlocking and a break between land and sky. The autumnal
colours are a simple metaphor for the end of the day/life.
I felt the relevance of the Elysian Fields as a place where the Greeks believed their heroes
would spend eternity fitted with the theme of the exhibition.....
“ ...finally, I included ‘Islands’ as
an antidote to the other two as it is
about communicating. Two flag-like
shapes interact amongst a starry
universe, if they don’t then they are
just lonely islands in the emptiness.
It is an anti-isolation, anti-war
painting. It is about love.”
