  • Square and circles : gouache and watercolour

    contemporary watercolour and gouache abstract art - black square with red circles

    Composition in black, red and white

    Gouache and watercolour, watercolour paper. 24 x 21cm. July 2018

    This is a composition from a series that explores the dynamics of stability and instability.
    The black square in the image suggests stability, while the red circles, with their lack of roundedness and their off-kilted positioning, suggest instability. The smoke effect adds to the sense of disequilibrium, as does the white “ghost” circle.

    The painting has no specific right way up, which all helps with the feeling of precariousness that the work generates.
