Original artwork description:

“In The White Room“ is an acrylic study painting 20x29cms on 300gm canvas paper. It is set in an off-white card window mount 28x35cms and will fit into a standard frame made for A4 images.
The painting is one of several studies made in preparation for a larger canvas painting.
The painting is inspired by a song “White Room” written by poet/singer/writer Pete Brown in 1967 for Cream. It is a song which is melancholic, pensive and reflective. In the song the white room is a place where Pete Brown lived, but it also has a symbolic meaning which could be related to wellbeing, comfort, beginnings and endings. Most people will have been in a ‘white room’. I know I have and for me it relates to increasing knowledge of your subliminal perception. Being in a white room is a harbinger for transformation and change. It is a positive signal.
The painting is a response to reflective thinking. It is ambiguous and ambivalent yet transparent like water, gentle yet stern.
I build my paintings in layers of thin, transparent washes of colour combined with and overworked with impasto applications. I use brushes, knives and cloths. I let the paint take its own course. I like the process of painting, so I purposefully leave in the traces of its behaviour such as the marks of knife and brush and the stream and trickle of diluted pigment. I respect and work with the nature of paint.
The painting is shipped in a reinforced card envelope/folder and is cellophane wrapped. Please see pictures.
