The Saloon - Hatchlands, Surrey NT

Alter Realism -Contemporary Still Life with Venus

The composition is formulated by the process subtraction thereby accentuating key aspects that then
create a new narrative of relationships. This form of approach focuses and hence brings out what would

be lost or diminished in the overall setting and initial view. The painting or picture plane is sub-divided
through inter-weaving of applied colour fields that provide a sense of various depths of field with each
dissolving into the other through adjacent boundaries or superposition of layers.
The juxtaposition of the ornamental clock and the figure of Venus combined with the period illustration of
visiters to the ancient ruins and spray of flowers form a narrative of relative time.
