Far from being random Morpheus is an expression of total control. Getting that delicate blend between white and black is not an easy thing to do. It could have turned out to be a black splodge of nothingness but thankfully I know what I’m doing so it didn’t. It’s all about balance for me. This piece kind of wrestles on that ragged edge of catastrophe all the time. In certain concentrated areas of black there is an element of texturing within the paint, forming small yet striking circles that raise above the surface of the canvas – like a reverse moon crater. To do this requires patience and an intimate knowledge of how paint works.

The expressiveness of elementary colours like black and white are so good at showing the beauty of form and shape. If I could choose a piece to best represent me as an artist then this would be it without question. Above all this is a statement of technical ability over emotion, which is so much harder to get right than something that is led by passion and desire. Because I worked on small areas at a time I was able to balance the whole painting – quite an achievement if I say so myself considering this is over six feet tall. It is precisely because of the staggering complexity of this painting that I will never tackle anything like this again. As a result you can guess that this is expensive….and you would be right.
