Here is an image of my painting ‘Crooked Chairs’.
It is painted with acrylics on canvas, and is developed from a series of studies I did of my dining room, including ink drawings and photographs.
My idea was to create a painting with distorted perspective and slightly jarring colours, resulting in a sense of unreality and perhaps unease.
I was inspired in this by the work of the Leipzig artist Matthias Weischer, particularly his 2002 painting ‘Untitled’, which depicts a claustraphobic interior whose exaggerated perspective and vibrant colour-scheme make it an especially dreamlike image.
