Odyssey

About Odyssey

This highly gestural drip and gestural composition on paper balances a kaleidoscope of colour -- grape, magenta, orange, gold, green -- with areas of black and grey. It is a muscular explosion inspired by the classic Greek poem, the Odyssey, which charts the journey of hero Odysseus home to Ithaca after the 10 year Trojan war.

This work on paper is unframed. Framing options are available upon request.

“Painting is always challenging. With each new piece, you’re up against an empty canvas. You must jump in and try to be as uninhibited as possible. No holding back. Picasso said it took him a lifetime to learn to create as free as a child again.” Adam Cohen

“His fields of colour and texture have the breadth and openness of the openness of the sky or aerial views from the earth’s surface.” Carter Ratcliff, Art Critic
