Infinity - how it developed from a doodle


 Looking again in this small sketch book I can see in retrospect how these
sketches have influenced my painting in the last year and how this has developed in to my 'Infinity' theme.





Fiona Banner Sculpture on the South Bank





Large circle shapes that have a 'cosmic' 'planet' feet to them.......
which developed into 'Infinity - Cosmos'

I am now starting another series within my theme 'Infinity'. I will be looking at the aspect of an infinite number under the title 'And Many More'.

My first work in this series will be a sculptural piece.




Here are some pictures of the making process.........

Infinity again

Earlier in the year I started a series of paintings entitled 'Infinity'. I was trying to convey a sense of enormity within the confines of the picture plane by depicting just part of a circle. I have called this series 'Infinity:Cosmos' following the feedback I received.






I then took it a step further and began to work on three larger canvases which I left in an unresolved state at the beginning of the summer.







Since then I have worked on these paintings further.

Far Beyond

I like 'Far Beyond' best as it shows a development in my style moving away from total flat colour and hard edged shapes.





This painting with the red shapes has a constructivist feel to it and I have been influenced by early modernist art. Its in the colours that I associate with the old Soviet Union.






This monochrome one ...... I am not sure if it is finished. I may sharpen up some edges.

Painting with Oil




Here are the paintings I am doing at the moment using water soluble oil paint



They are not finished yet. It has been suggested to me that I work on developing some crispness and clarity.
