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.

Drawn Live on location in the Bacardi Bar at Southport Dance Music Weekender. Untouched after leaving the club session with no further post-production work in the studio. One Take! Pastel on Canson paper. 75cm x 55cm.
