Lonely chair

I got an inspiration for this painting when leaving the Bridge theatre after watching the Guys and Dolls musical. It was all hustle & bustle outside the theatre in the evening when I spotted a lonely chair that was just an invitation to sit down and take in the moment. I also got interested in playful movement of light and shadows on the pavement created by  street lights and shadows of leaves.

The evening seemed to be like any other evening in London but there was something special in the air, an invitation to enjoy a lovely spring evening.

This painting is multi-layered with colourful dabs of paint, thick brushstrokes and movement of gestural action painting through the surface mixed with sharper edges of palette knife and scratched surface marks uncovering colours underneath.
