Original Artwork, in Acrylics & Oils.
Let’s talk about ‘Dinner For One’, shall we? After trudging through the dark forest, lighting a cosy fire and setting up camp feels like a small luxury. Yet, that annoying companion lingers, always ready to pilfer food. It’s not your fault they ate all theirs before lunch, is it?
As if that’s not enough, a new smell catches your attention. Burning paper? Surely not. But then, a sense of unease creeps in. Is someone watching? The smell persists, and before you know it, the map is aflame.
In ‘Dinner For One?’, the narrative delves into themes of envy and negligence. The giant panda embodies diligence, rationing resources for later. In contrast, the frivolous red panda symbolises envy and coveting others’ possessions. The burning map serves as a cautionary symbol, reminding us to remain vigilant even in moments of tranquility.
As with all my works, layers of meaning are woven in, encouraging reflection and contemplation. So, while you may have been admiring the Pandas, there’s much more to ponder beneath the surface.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.
Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
