If you scan through this collection, you can see that I have a thing about pairs of chairs. With people and their fabulous silhouettes against striped cloth preferably, but if people aren’t around, empty chairs will do. But what I really love is dusky profiles set against cloth.
The first of this series I made was a 3 by 4 foot painting of a couple in Green Park, anonymised by the light and the stripes. A gallery sold it to someone who wouldn’t let me loan it back to document it, so I felt compelled to paint more. This compulsion has subsequently never left me. Goodness knows what a therapist would make of my preoccupation with pairs of chairs, but aren’t they lovely?
