PICKING FLOWERS. 2008

 

 

Picking Flowers. Ink on architectural paper. 11th April, 2008

There is something beautiful about the sheen of the paper and the black of the ink

that makes the drawing light up when viewed.

LILIES

 

 

 

Pastel on raw canvas. 4th April, 2008

 

Quote: “The rose is the flower and handmaiden of love – the lily, her fair associate,

is the emblem of beauty and purity”.  Unquote. By Dorothea Dix

 

 

 

 

TONY SAVAGERIO: UNLOCKING THE FOREIGN PSYCHE

 

Ink on acid-free card. 2008

This is about a UK artist friend of mine who, in the 1970’s rallied all over England for an anti drugs campaign.

The campaign was highly successful , reducing the drug trafficking up to 70 percent. Not without

terrible gang vindication. Tony was shot twice, and in this drawing shows him being shot.

Many years on, artist Tony Savages still lives to tell his gruesome and heroic tale.

 

 

 

TEN SWORDS

 

 

 

Mixed media- acrylic paint, chain, embellishments. October, 2007

The Ten Of Swords card in the Tarot, represents great mental alacrity,

and among other inferences, mental anguish and mental illness. This particular

abstract represents when the brain sequences disrupt, cause fits and spits, anguish and

frustration. A dear friend of mine was the inspiration of this piece,

due to the friend having to overcome the effects of  accidental electrocution.

The beautiful colours represent the beautiful person within.

 

 

FLORA AND FAUNA.

 

 

 

 

Mixed Media. paper, plaster, paint, glass on canvas. October 2007

This work  is one of quite a few works made one after another due to a creative release.

(I get those)…

 

 

BOUNTY. 2007

 

 

Bounty. Ink on paper. 2007

Another play with positive and negative spacing.

Doodling or Trance Art, is a great way to come up with interesting images of the heart and mind.

At the time I was reading about the Philadelphia Experiment, so some pretty weird

stuff subconsciously, came out in the drawing.
