Portraits
Conventional portraits with photographic references are re-invented in these works through drawing painting, and constructed composition, using heightened colour and narrative and symbolic images added to give clues as to who the subject is, and what do they do and know.
Kola Reaching-Up
Action Portrait of Kola Abidogun. Oil on canvas. 85cm x 112cm. 1999. Painted 'live' with the model in one sitting at my studio of that time at Bavent Rd, Camberwell.
