Abridge 2007

201 x 160 x 8cm

Oil on pigmented epoxy resin reinforced with fibreglass and diab.

At night, streetlamps light up sections of the tree tops, which become changed into contrasting colour sections reaching across a brightly lit area. This is the inspiration for the painting.

The central section is lifted away from the wall, making a slight projection of 8cm. This gives an uneven shadow range behind which increases the sense of elements spanning an intervening space.
