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.
Drawing-And-Dancing-After-Dark
Drawn live on location In the ‘Love Dancin’/ Dingwalls tent, ‘We Out There’ Festival 20.08.2023. So glad I made it! The spirit of ‘Jazz On A Summer’s Day’ reborn in a contemporary context and setting… big thanks to Iona Layland our very own 2nd generation UK jazz dancer featured in the artwork with the formidable original old skool Jerry IDJ. Both are fratured in this artwork. Pastel on blue Canson paper. A-3 size.
