Yesterday was a momentous occasion – all the paintings I have been working on for the past few months are now ready for exhibiting. I can relax a little now.
It feels like the end of a chapter – I suppose I view a short burst of creativity, where all the paintings are closely linked, to recording an album.
Also, in a sense, they belong in my studio, remnants of the frantic activity that has recently gone on and will be taken out of context when they are shown in galleries. The paintings represent what I’m interested in at this particular time and now I can move on to something else. The exciting thing is, I don’t know what is to come in the coming months.
I photographed everything and was really pleased to see them on the computer screen, somehow you view them differently reproduced and it helps assess them. One in particular stood out to me… my studio looks a tip, the painting is one I’ve not given much attention to since it was finished, but the painting photographed grabbed my attention.
