Painting:

Ode to New York, No. 2, 2016
Acrylic on canvas
140 x 140cm

This painting surfaced shortly after my trip back from New York City, a place I had not been to in over 15 or more years. So long ago that I don’t recall when I was last there. Regardless, the city left me energised and excited to return back to my own studio and canvas, to explore and reveal to me, territories of painting and investigation that I had previously missed. The multitude of galleries I visited were plenty, yet I seemingly extracted valuable components from the visit. Abstract and bold in the choice of colours and brushstroke, I felt uninhibited and freer in everything, allowing the painting to simply express itself.

Notes:

This artwork is on private display at McKay Williamson, London.
