Introducing Tango
/Introducing my finished painting Tango.
Inspired by the wonderful @dmitryvasintango & @esmer__omerova and their spellbinding performance of Argentinian tango in 2015, which utterly transports me every time I watch it - click button below to see them in action.
I loved how this performance paired power with grace, strength with delicacy and underlying all of it, an exquisite, intimate connection between lead and follow.
The moment I chose to paint was a split second, held just before Esmer is lifted overhead. This is where the idea for the King Fisher came from, rooted in this feeling of taking flight, both literally and emotionally.
I also wanted to play with what the digital watercolour could do, loading my virtual brush with water and tilting my virtual paper in different directions, to let the paint run and drip and express itself, searching for the balance between control and spontaneity.
I am pleased to announce, Tango is now available as a beautiful art print, in a range of sizes and finishes. For buying options see listing below.
If you are quick you can see it up close in person at Putney library [5-7 Disraeli Road London, SW15 2DR] until 5pm today, all part of an exhibition called Performers in Paint, showcasing artworks by myself and fellow artist Stella Tooth.
Any Qs, let me know!
