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.

The Jazz Room At Southport Weekender

Drawn Live on location in the Jazz Room/Bacardi 'B' Bar at Southport Dance Music Weekender during DJ Snowboy's set. Charcoal on Canson paper. 75 cm x 55cm.
