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.
Jitterbugs Club at Notre Dame Hall 3
The 3rd of x3 drawings made live on location at Julie Oram's 'Jitterbug Club', Notre Dame Hall, behind Leicester Square in 1999. This raw charcoal drawing was left untouched after leaving the club, with no additional 'post-production' work in the studio. Charcoal on Canson Paper. 75cm x 110cm. 1999.
