About my Peoplescape Paintings
The figures are featureless so that the viewer is more aware of the emotional state of the person. Features can be distracting and I want to explore the inter-relationships between people both within smaller groups and then as part of a larger group.
I enjoy sometimes sitting at an outdoor café and watching people, but taking note of how they keep in their smaller groups although being aware and part of the larger group. I show this awareness through the body positioning…relative to the people they are with.
