Last 2.08 Nina | |
Egyptian Shop Assistant H48in W36in (H122cm W91cm) Dated 23-1-95 ......... Price £50 $70 Acrylic on hardboard From a photo taken by Doug Lowe whilst on a business trip to Egypt. The staff in the shop were so happy to be photographed. I had to take a picture of every one in the shop. I am not proud of this painting. It was exploratory and taught me that I had to be much more figurative and accurate in my rendering of portraits if I was to get any satisfaction from painting them and if the viewer was to get anything from looking at them. From then on I started taking measurements and reference points to get the forms more accurate The colours are also jumbled. That is fine if the character is messed up, but he wasn't. It was I who needed to become more figurative. |
