PAINTINGS
2012 Dear Reader, ! There are 19 acrylic paintings with the theme of art and music in this e-book. The idea for ʻPaintings 2012ʼ came from a painting by Picasso, and then it became an homage to other artists i.e. Braque, Cézanne, Dali and Van Gogh. I learned from Cézanne that every painting is unique. This frees an artist to paint without a reference to other works. The goal is to create something that has never been seen before. Itʼs a life-long challenge. ! Van Gogh inspired me the most from his drawings; they are so alive. Picasso said the first artist who inspired him when he came to Paris was Van Gogh. I needed to portray time, perhaps to give dimension, so in came the melted clock from Dali. I know using such an obvious iconic influence from Dali would be controversial, so I added the numbers tumbling from the face
of the clock to give it a new meaning. ! The bird of peace, which has evolved into the representation of literature in the next series of paintings, came from Braque. Braqueʼs collages and his ʻcubist styleʼ of painting is perfection to my mind. The bird of peace just had to fly in these paintings. So I let my imagination run and just tried to find what I was meant to find. Some paintings were finished without going very deep into the workmanship. I needed to have some of them left raw. The guitar with the womanʼs body and head was an idea from the beginning of my career. Lastly came the palette shaped head with the brushes representing art. Suddenly there was room to let all of these elements interact. Now itʼs for you to decide how these paintings affect you. Art is very personal and everyone has the right to their opinion. Thank you for your interest in this e-book and I hope you find enjoyment in looking at the paintings.
