| I was
reasonably confident about drawing but once at college the introduction of
colour caused me great excitement if not a little unease. Initially I found
myself producing increasingly more vast and complicated canvases covered in
coloured squares and rectangles. This was my answer to the problem of colour.
This being; how does one place colours next to, or on top of other colours
while still retaining their integrity? I found that the only way that I could
comfortably paint in colour was to establish a hard line between each block of
colour. I found that different colours had their own energy and would appear to
sink back into, or stand proud from the canvas. |
