Original artwork description:

Broadly speaking, my work divides into two main spheres. The first is abstractions from nature and tends towards the ethereal. This body of work has a nebular quality and clouding, glazes and mists are often incorporated. The other division of work falls into a more contemporary, modern category. This is a celebration of colour without form and is a purer sense of abstract, with a more 'design' than organic quality.
This large canvas, created using raw pigments, falls into the second. I particularly love working with the umber as it feels like refined earth and this element of the painting is the dominant feature (top/centre/left). The other colours, layered beneath using thinned oils and rough knife work remain unblended to maintain a candid sense of abstract. The iron oxide forms a complementary section to the umber on the bottom right.
Please note that this canvas only ships mounted within the UK and near Europe for free shipping, unless rolled (also free anywhere globally). Special arrangements will need to be made to ship globally as a mounted work because of the large dimensions.
