Perfumes

0

I adore perfume, and many of my artworks are based around the bottles. As well as admiring their design - the symmetry of the classic Chanel flacon or the imagination of the Jean Paul Gaultier torso, their reflective qualities appeal to me. The challenge of painting glass never fades, the attempt to depict in paint something translucent, to use your brush to capture in strokes what is essentially clear! It is like trying to paint nothing, and that is the approach I find works best – to put very few marks on the canvas and let your brain fill in the information.
