Artist presentation by Paul Winstanley was very interesting to hear how he got to where he is today. He started off as an abstract painter , uses photographic sources.
He looks at the theme of the ordinary , looking at space and engages the viewer as if you were in the image being presented, creating an atmosphere. Light and composition is important in Winstanley's artwork.
Winstanley stated that he was interested in the style of the room / architecture as well as colours. He likes to get rid of the idea of brush mark like it is not there. He looks at the idea of a room being person and impersonal for instance student accommodation lounges. - Anonymous spaces. Does not have a lot of meaning to anyone.
Lounge, 1997, Oil on linen, 85X80.5cm, Private collection.
