Uk Jazz-funk-soul
I call these images 'unstill lives'. Drawing people in movement, on a musical wave-length. They are the opposite of 'still life' painting, - (the painting of silent and 'still' bowls of fruit and flowers)... Compositions of dancers and venues made ‘live’ on location in jazz, soul and funk clubs in London, Uk and Beyond. 1990-2020. Fuelled by participation and observation. The images catch or court the spirit and atmosphere of the music and dance of each specific event.
Christmas At Shiftless Shuffle
Drawn / painted live on location at Shiftless Shuffle, Bar Freedom, Soho, London in December 2006. No further work post-production after leaving the club. Pastel on Canson paper. 55cm x 75cm.
