Original artwork description:

As a kid I loved flying kites. You feel a sense of achievement working against the wind, manoeuvring the direction height etc. I still fly kites with my kids now, more often than not on the beaches of North West England.

Indian kites are fascinating; the paper they are made of, the bright happy colours. The making of kites is an art form in itself, the design. Yes I have read and seen the kite runner too ha. I am fascinated with the shape, form, colours, and the feeling that goes with it. Yousuf khan ( Dilip kumar ) a legendary Bollywood actor, also loves the sport.

I have started a series on kites. Paul Smith Interior Design London has recently started selling my works and the first few paintings they have chosen are kites. The painting displayed here is a deconstruction of the kite and abstraction of it.
