‘Oriental' paintings series
Oil on canvas
The series of ‘Oriental’ paintings are partly influenced by motifs, shapes and forms from Chinese and Japanese culture. They are ‘extractions’ rather than direct ‘lifts’ of these elements. In so doing they are not comments on Oriental culture but arbitrary forms that develop and change through the application of a variety of painting mediums. They are observed details that have been amplified to produce a new ‘language’.
