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.
