The lockdown series

Now that the country is in lockdown due to the virus it is an opportunity to get on with some work in the studio. So, I’ve been painting a series of urban paintings in which I’m continuing my exploration into colour in particular the effect of colour and subjective colour schemes. This exploration relates to and moves on from my interest in the psychology of urban space.

For now though I’ve paused the painting as I’ve run out of canvases and boards and so I’m building up a stock of them.

Tightening the clamps. I use the polyurethane expanding glue which reacts with moisture to cure. The support struts are half lap jointed in the corners.
I am cutting the joints here by hand. I probably should get a power tool for this as I must have cut thousands of these joints.
