My latest
work continues to be based on the iconic Palladian Pulteney Bridge, Bath. The bridge still supports shops that are in open daily in the city and the public can also enjoy views of the bridge spanning the river Avon
and its dynamic weir.
Back in the
studio these paintings were made using an expressionistic
application of acrylic paint. Layering
and mark making are seen to combine to offer an impression of the space. Rather than offering a photographic realism
that would imply that detail to be a priority, the implication of architectural
features and stability together with the essence of the bridge are instead
recorded. These paintings can be read as
an emotional connection or response with the place itself rather than a literal
recording of an urban space.
