Edwin Stephenson.
"The paintings vary from the intimate in scale, suitable for a domestic environment, to large formats which suit more expansive interior settings such as loft accommodation or commercial/business environments.
Colour is my primary medium of expression. I have a strong understanding that pigment and colour is the product of light reflected from a surface. This being so I strive to create images which radiate out from the canvas almost like a light shining outwards from an open window. I also strongly believe that colour can directly affect mood and I endeavour to provoke a strong emotional but sympathetic response from the viewer.
My paintings are not intended to sink shyly into the background but are positive authoritative statements. My pictorial work is vibrant and intense. Although the paintings are clearly abstract in appearance they have strong resonance with landscape, biomorphic forms and atmospheres. The paintings make dynamic statements and are particularly suited to interiors that require a keynote image to help enhance and give character to a room."
These are quotes from his website which pretty much sum up the reasons for why I chose his work. I think they consist of a beautiful combination of colours and forms and are very striking. They successfully brighten up a room, therefore PERFECT for a grubby underground.
