Coalescence
Oil on canvas, 2006. 1000mm x 1000mm
Original $880 + p&p
This was part of The Deepening exhibtion at the Gippsland Art Gallery in 2007. I painted almost the entire exhibition listening obsessively to the Gotan Project
La Revancha Del Tango. I still find it the best music to paint to. I can lose myself totally in it, immerse myself in the layered rhythyms.
This painting speaks of a healing passion. It is a loving, ephemeral, elemental union: fire, water, earth, air – spiritual, emotional, physical, cerebral. It is breathless and all encompassing. It is wild yet gentle. It is love.
