Context
  • ‘Hushed tones’
  • This heavily textured canvas displays a portrait in a variety of grays and pale umber.

  • The painting began from my ‘story wall’ paintings of vibrant ‘Red lips’ which I pinned to the walls of my studio. I had also been influenced by the female artist, Marlene Dumas' painting ‘Naomi’.

  • I positioned my portrait ‘Hushed tones', in the centre of the canvas, utilising the whole space and energising the features with my expressive layering techniques.

  • [Artwork referenced: Marlene Dumas, ‘Naomi’ - 1995]
