Bus Stop #1
Size 80cm x 50cm
Acrylic Mediums on stretched cotton/poly canvas. Unframed
This painting was an experiment in acrylic mediums, glazes and complex surface textures.
The image refers to years of struggle as the disabled artist fought pain and illness to travel by public transport attending university for the Bachelor of Fine Arts. He would often spend the time between catching buses and trains with his head down-staring at the pavement-trying to draw strength from stillness.
As he has indicated throughout his painted works he has a strong attraction to physical texture as part of the storyline. Even in those moments he saw that the concrete pavement was compelling and beautiful.
