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.

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.

Discoveries on a morning ride
A morning ride has lots of benefits.
Watching these three new born 🐣 🐣 🐣 with their mum was so wonderful.

Discovering The Truth or The Unknown
Here is another new charcoal drawing on paper.
Sometimes when we least expect it we find out things that amaze us even in a simple drawing.

Touched By Picasso
This is a new charcoal drawing on A2 paper.
It might be more accurate to say it was inspired by Picasso. Picasso often created by reinterpreting Old Masters, learning from them, delving into their mysteries.
With this drawing I have simply allowed one of his works to reinvent itself through me.

Dancing Through A Storm
This is a new mixed media painting on paper.
Storms can be so threatening and it is a refreshing and uplifting feeling if you can believe you are dancing through it.

The Rhythm of the Moving Life – Update
Here is yesterdays post now with a touch of colour …..
The Rhythm of the Moving Life – Update
Copyright Burgess 2020 (c) All rights reserved.
The Rhythm of the Moving Life
This is a new charcoal drawing on paper which evolved from a Picasso Still Life.
The Rhythm of the Moving Life
In the beginning was the word
And the word was Picasso
And from Picasso came Still Life
Then Still Life gave life to Living Life
From which evolved Pollock
And Pollock became rhythm and danced across the floor
Finally becoming the Rhythm of the Moving Life

A Spiritual Evolution of Things
This is a new charcoal drawing on paper which describes a process of evolution.
The Tree
In the beginning was the word
And the word was tree
And the tree became house
Which became many houses
And they became road
Which branched out like a tree.
And finally the word became congestion
So the inhabitants of the houses searched for the simplicity of the tree!

From The Archives
This is a studio painting done in 2018.
I do not remember if it had a title.
More than likely it is in my archives on this WordPress site.

A Time for Seeing
I love to play with images. As you move them, change colours, emphasize parts etc wonderful things happen.
This one plays with moving perspectives which draws us to focus on parts we have not noticed.
When artist Cezanne began changing his viewpoint Art changed. So I am forever aware that changing our view of the world can have profound implications.
Changing our viewpoint of anything changes what we see.

Detail of new painting in progress
This is a random detail of a new painting I am struggling to make sense of. It suggests my love of J.M.W. Turner but in a much more abstract and raw state.
This needs time to absorb and see where it might lead me. Keep watching.

Another new painting
Here is a studio view of another new painting. Some flowers are hidden within this one.
There is a suggestion of an Infinity format with this image. Scroll like it seems to go forever when you stand close to it and view it from one end.

New Painting With Figures
This is a close up of my latest painting. There are figures in a Cafe being served by a waiter. Although all my work is about mystery and you need to see what you can find. Life is like that. We see outward signs of things and we somehow put it all together.
But if we delve deeper much more is revealed.

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!

Here is a very rough video preview of a new painting. It’s all about “feelings” and I hope it is transmitted to you.
I have always felt Art is a living thing….. or should be. It should make us feel more alive. Elevate our spirits. Make our hearts race.

Untitled Painting
This new painting was undoubtedly inspired by my love for J. M. W. Turner.
Although untitled it suggests shipwrecks or storms at sea…. at least in feeling.
