Treasures Beneath

2012

A series of abstract paintings inspired by tales of the ocean – its movement and changing nature, caught glimpses of what’s below, sea stories, mermaids, selkies and lost treasure.

A canvas with textural surface in circular swirls, with a dark blue ground. Clouds of greens, turquoise and gold suggest reflected colours on the surface of water.
A very tall and narrow canvas, placed upright, featuring a painting with blue background and centralised marks in shades of turquoise and green, with tiny highlights of red showing through the impasto layers.
A large canvas with painting on a mottled blue ground, with abstract marks in warm tones, gold and bronze that look somewhat like the reflections of sunlight on the surface of water.
A square canvas painting with blue ground and abstracted central marks in grey and silver, reminiscent of the movement of water.
An abstract painting on canvas with a blue ground. Centralised marks in gold, green and lighter blue suggest the effect of light sparkling on water.
