Jonathan Cooper Gallery.London

SOLD Private Collection

"I'd kept this dried Sunflower preserved in a box for years, frequently studying how I might approach recording such a fragile treasure. Over time its'  vibrant colour faded, revealing a beautiful, and previously hidden, linear and structural quality.  Offering me significant technical challenges in the recording of its strength, fragility, and opposing colour temperatures, I had no choice but to paint it."

.".......in the selection of subject matter I try to discover an aspect of a plant by surprise, as if seeing it for the first time, individual, beautiful and appealing, sometimes in a state of decay......."
