"As the title suggests, red is for passion, warmth and love. Taking lead from many of my paintings, her face is hidden and anonymity is again at the forefront. This allows the viewer to perhaps place themselves as the subject or even their loved one. The appeal of this painting works because it is not a portrait and the mystery and wonder of who the subject may be is key to the attraction and success of the painting. And of course, the beauty of the female form speaks for itself here.
The style of top is fairly neutral in design and again this makes it relatively timeless. The fabric clings to her body accentuating her natural form and true shape underneath. With minimal background to distract you, your eyes wonder through the curves and then get lost by the shapes made in the fabric I've contentiously used the space around the subject . I'm asking the viewer to fill in the blanks and focus on the detail. "
DREW DARCY
I can remember drawing from an early age, and was first introduced to oil painting at Stonyhurst College, Lancashire. Music, fashion, modern design, film, photography, advertising, and my ever-changing moods are some of the many subjects that can spark off my creative process. I admire many artists like Gerhard Richter, Francis Bacon, and Edward Hopper to name but a few. I like to take in artistic flavours from my favourite artists, absorb them and throw them all back in to the mix to make my own distinctive style.
