Impressions of Venice

Venice in all its historic and poetic glory has seemingly denied the existence of the industrial revolution, and despite its teeming throngs of exuberant tourists, manages to exude a tranquillity that permeates the human soul. In this series of paintings I have attempted to fuse this dichotomy of feelings: movement and stillness; excitement and calm through use of multiple layers of colour splashed, daubed, scrawled but mostly flowing over and running down the canvas to dissolve and re-emerge as a sentiment or feeling from a line of some of my favourite poems about Venice by Lord Byron, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Owen Meredith.
