Paradise Lost

Oil on Canvas

230cm*165cm

2017

"In this painting, I use two contrasting elements, beauty and danger, to create a sense of uncanny. The image is of plants surrounding and decorating a black square pool. The plants I paint are complicated, full of detail and employing bright colours. The plant life pulls the eye with its intricacy. But the black square pool is expressed sharply and geometrically, the dim colours are associated with some kind of man-made stuff, meanwhile, nobody knows what it exactly is."
