Figuring Out - Outing the Figure






                    For me, a figure work is, at least in some way, a landscape.






                               It is, after all, set in a place and a time.

                 It's about the painter's technique, thought process, mood, skill...






Not just a figure.

But a part of its landscape.





As well as a representation of the human figure, it's about the space around it. 


Place.
Time.
Colour.
Light.





It is about me as a painter and where I am when I paint it. 





But equally, it is about you as the viewer.






And where you are when you see it.





And the space in between.
