“Senetti Reds” is a collaboration of figurative and abstract, something which I love painting together as both areas of art interest me. I enjoy the discipline and challenge of looking at real objects and aiming to characterise them to give form and beauty. I also appreciate the shapes and patterns in more abstracted styles and the fusing together in one painting excites me. Senetti Reds is a gouache study of a luscious magenta Senetti plant with a backdrop of beautiful silken material of harmonious colouring. Once heavily underway l felt the composition needed an extra burst of colour and the plate of mango in the foreground provides an enhanced perspective to the overall work, furthermore adding a strong colour contrast which lifts the overall imagery. The self coloured paper flowers sit on the surface in relief and add further interest and texture, their shapes inspired by the Senetti plant itself and also by the flower shape on the silken man’s lapel. The handmade paper with its undulating markings form part of the textural quality of the overall piece.
