Elements of Travel.

These paintings are ridiculously massive and I’m STILL working on them. I will try to keep this section updated. Hopefully they will be finished within the nest two months.
Idea behind it…. Chaos and information overload I collected from travel, represented through the emotions of an optimistic youth travelling for the first time. Each painting is a representation of either Romance, Adventure, Wonder or Excess. Intertwined into the figures are appropriation images from various destinations, copied from photos and reproduced with paint to define the figure. *example the twist in Annabel’s neck * (Annabel is Adventure)
Based on a cocktail of different artists, I am considering changing the background.. But again have reached a slightly cautious stage (like I did with I begin life on my own and I don’t like it.) since these paintings are not for a specific deadline, they may possibly be sitting in this state for a while…unless I choose to put them in an exhibition…..


Wonder

Romance


Adventure

Excess
