Old Masters

This is a tribute painting to Cezanne and Picasso. A very modern version it is inspired by Picasso’s painting.

I captured this photograph recently and it reminded me of an Old Master painting.

This is a new painting inspired by Picasso’s Girl Reading of 1935.

An Inspired Painting

Two Figures By The Gate

Here is the complete painting which as mentioned in my previous post can be viewed in a Bosch like way.

Two Figures By The Gate

A Bit Like A Bosch

As a lover of Hieronymus Bosch’s art I have often wondered how Modern Art might relate to his amazing images.
Suddenly I find this painting might do this in an abstract mysterious way.
On one level of my art my aim has always been to activate each area of an artwork to allow the viewer access to another world of contemplation and reflection. To provide a portal to another place, not of good and evil but mystery and wonder.
A place full of excitement and discovery.
Like a Bosch these areas will only come alive when closely examined and contemplated.
This is one such discovery.

While The Old Masters Slept

This is another new painting. It hints at the obvious. Can we imagine how the Old Masters would feel at the sight of Modern Art!

Altarpiece Two

Like the Altarpieces of the past this modern Altarpiece has hidden meaning. It is for you to discover these.

Tameraire

This is another new mixed media painting which is inspired by but looks nothing like the original.

One thing I discovered early on in my life as an artist was that I could never copy an artist’s work. It always went somewhere else. So now, many years later I just let my work take me where it wants to go.

This developing series is doing just that….

Image which inspired title of recent painting

This is an image which inspired the title of my most recent painting. I was drawn to Burne-Jones’s King Ciphers and the Beggar Maid and Bruegel’s Tower Of Babel.
