Cityscape of Canary Wharf, also known as Canary Wharf Landscape Redux Number 4 Awash with Dosh

Acrylic on canvas

50 * 50 cm

2006

CHF 5,000

 Cityscape of Canary Wharf, also known as Canary Wharf Landscape Redux Number 4 - the fifth remake of this remarkably pleasing image. The background colour has evolved as a result of a series of experiments with acrylic additives. The magic formulae has been eventually found and as a result the background has a mysterious diamond-like sparkling. Thus the nick name under which it was exhibited at the Lloyd's Art Group exhibition at the Lloyd's of London in 2006 is "Awash with Dosh".
The painting of Blue Monochrome, acrylic on canvas Blue Square

Acrylic on canvas

50 * 50 cm

2006

CHF 5,000

 The application of a single color over an entire canvas, known as a Monochrome abstraction, has been used by several artists wishing to challenge expectations of what an image can and should represent. Yves Klein for instance referred to monochrome painting as an "open window to freedom" (See his “Blue Monochrome” at MoMA, NY). There might be some deep philosophy behind monochrome painting. Speaking for myself, I simply love the rich color blue with a bit of texture. It looks great.
Painting of Orange Monochrome, acrylic on canvas Orange

Acrylic on canvas

61 * 45.5 cm

2006

CHF 5,000

Like the painting of Blue (above), this painting of Orange is an accomplished monochrome art work in its own right. Its smooth skin-like texture nicely interacts with light. It is calm and settled.

Mark Rothko with his works No5/No22, "Red and Orange" and especially “Untitled” (1968) has experimented highly successfully with orange and red pallets. I adore his works, but at times find them just a bit too busy. Thus I’ve attempted to execute my Orange in a more minimalist manner.
