Artist's Comments

Sometimes laziness can lead to exciting times. Often I'll grab a few random colours off the shelf and have a bit of a play to see where the mood takes me. Once I've got those colours open (and they can be tricky since some of the paints are so old) I tend to keep playing with them until they well and truly run their course.

This was a very random group of only five colours; a muddy oil based green, a muddy acrylic green, an acrylic white, and two lithographers inks, one being orange and one almost black.

The full title of this is "Shuffled Sideways (on the corporate ladder)", and it's the beginning of what was to soon become a trilogy of similar pieces which are heavily influenced by my current work environment.

The colours took me on a journey which has opened up yet another style of work for me. It's not often that I'm happy with my work once it's completed, but these 3 pieces exhibit to me a new found maturity in my work, and feature some rich layering and deep moods.

I hope you get half as much enjoyment out of them as I had in doing them.

The industrial look of Shuffled Sideways is breath-taking, ~Mr-Tetanus fills the canvas with sweeping expression, brought together with a touch of fine lines for a lasting touch. (Featured by `oilsoaked)

Metatron acts as the voice of God... when some yahoo claims God has spoken to them, they're speaking to me. Or they're talking to themselves.

The abstraction is really, true, if you get me? It doesn't seem fabricated at all, it's beautiful, glad you enjoyed painting it!

from someone who also takes great pleasure in using up the old paints and bits ;)
