Having painted at least two or three figure paintings a year for the last 35, I recently decided to concentrate on a series of small, intensively worked still lifes. Denied the emotional charge and inevitable narrative element that is generated whilst working with a sitter, I have found myself transposing these qualities onto the inanimate objects I was working with, investing them with a particular psychological and poetic intensity which might otherwise have been reserved for the figure work.
