FIGURE WORKS
Drawing people was what took me to art college in the first place. Once there, working from the life model was the part of my art education to which I responded most positively.
I think it is only natural that one human would wish to communicate to another through depiction of their shared form. The language of abstraction lacks, for me, the necessary element of deception… so painting the human figure sits at the apex of my personal visual hierarchy.
