Ancient Landmark

This painting was inspired by my mum's old Chinese plates. Now that she's passed on, I thought to myself, "what do I make of these, do I sell them or keep them?". Then the thought came to make a painting of these wares. The past is the conduit for the future and if we fail to pay attention it, we would not only loose the lessons we ought to learn but we it would also be difficult to discover the treasures ahead.

Artist Statement
Every attempt at an artwork is like holding a tablet of destiny in my hands, with the freedom to make of it what I want, every brush stroke having a message, coming together to make the painting a living entity. Despite painting using photo references, I do everything possible to capture the unseen elements: the energy, the rough texture of nature, the uncertainty of life and the subjectivity of outcome. All these are evident in the heavy brush work and suggestive strokes in my works.Though I would not want to be boxed in the 'isms' of the art world, my works are somewhat a blend of Impressionism and Realism; They combine the spontaneity of the Impressionists with the colours of Realism. So we could call it "Impressionistic realism". My works could however, take a different turn as I look to place priority on the painting than on nomenclature.
