About This Work

'Danny' is probably most inspired by the work of John Steinbeck, specifically the paisanos from ‘Tortilla Flat’. When I read it, I was captivated by their quiet dignity; they have their routines and their way of life with no modern technology to speak of. They appreciate the beauty in the simple things – good food, good wine, friendship. This freedom is extremely appealing. I felt the composition should reflect that. I painted it with a chopped up sponge using a bleached, bright and minimal palette. I wanted to use this unwieldy painting tool to prevent me getting too precious with the mark making. A few gestural strokes described the face and body and each stroke was left untouched with sparing pencil strokes to delineate detail. The artwork is on board, finished with an archival matt varnish and ready to hang. All work sent within the UK is via the Royal Mail Special Delivery Service which guarantees next day delivery (outside UK please allow 5-7 days). I do not offer discounts on my artwork so this is the guaranteed best price for this piece. The artwork comes with a signed gold foil blocked certificate of authenticity (COA) to protect your investment and to protect the long term collectible value of your artwork.
