On Sharon Butler's site 'Two Coats of Paint', Water Robinson gets the quote of the day, 12th December

"I just can't get into the radical masquerade that the art world is. That's why I paint like I do. I'm not pretending to be some kind of avant-garde. I'm not trying to be inventive. I'm just making images. Like a sign painter. Anyway that's the idea."

making an image

I am working on a new mural project. The conditions of the people paying for the mural impose a specific aesthetic which I can't help moving away from. These drawings are moving in the wrong direction however I think they are interesting. They make me wonder about the reason for making an image.

Jimmy's on the Mall 1200 x 1800

While these paintings seem abstract they are both painted with a specific representational image projected onto them. My aim is to extend the conversation on what we consider to be abstract and what we classify as representation in a painting.
