Artwork notes

A multi-year project about Slavic histories, rather than an advertising commission.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Lithographic posters and large painted cycles require very different surfaces.

Marks and structure

Outlines, hair and plant motifs connect the figure with its surrounding frame.

Palette and light

Soft colour in posters contrasts with the wider atmospheric range of his history paintings.
