"FROM DARKNESS COMES"

These paintings begin with a black undertone. The focus of colour as a form, influenced by the Fauvists & Abstract Expressionist panters of the early 20thC.

Kandinsky was a major influence, with his book,"On the spirit in art", and his theory. that colour had sound, and resonnated with the spirit.

"Hearing colours speak."

Yellow – “warm,” “cheeky and exciting,” and warm,”  
Green – peace, stillness, passive.
Blue – “typical heavenly color”, The lighter it is, the more calming it is.
Red – restless, glowing, alive, “male maturity”
Brown  – dull, hard, inhibited.
Orange – radiant, serious, healthy.
Violet  – “morbid, extinguished, sad”
White – “It is not a dead silence, but one pregnant with the harmony of silence.
Grey – is soundless and motionless, but it differs from green, and expresses a hopeless stillness.

Black – extinguished, immovable, “Not without possibilities ike an eternal silence.
