I was fortunate enough to be commissioned by Debut Studio in Hong Kong for these three pieces to be shown at Design Shanghai 2020. They all have that flavour of the East… Mono no Aware 5 (landscape), Pine Tree Bonsai, and Poon Choi which is a popular Southern Chinese and Hong Kong dish (roughly translates as “to share”). You can purchase these limited edition prints at www.debutstudio.hk. It was a pleasure working with them!
The funny things you see
One of the greatest joys of painting in the semi-abstract to abstract genre, is hearing what my audience sees within. Whether on social media or in person, here are a few memorable remarks to perhaps you can relate:
I can see an upside-down mermaid in a bowl of spaghetti! (See image below)
I can see a blue Holden Barina (an Aussie car) that’s fallen off a cliff into a shrub! (In this person’s case, I believe this actually happened to her! I’m not sure I like being a ptsd trigger :S)
I see a group of babies screaming
It’s a butterfly party! (Children are the best at this)
Animals. Always animals. Penguins, donkeys, lots of accidental cats apparently. One woman could only see elephants, lots of elephants and it took a longtime convincing they were flowers. Bless :D
I would just like to say that whatever you may see in my paintings says a lot more about YOU than it does the accidental creator :D
