I painted the Red Door Series in March 2011.
The idea of an abstract triptych portraying continuous movement came to me after being inspired by the works of Bacon whilst at the same time wanting to examine the painting methodology of Rothko and others. As the subject and form of the paintings emerged, the style became looser and more fluid and the work dictated its own end style.
The Red Door Series is a 3 part oil on canvas set.
The order of painting was:
- Red Door No. 2
- Red Door No. 1
- Red Door No. 3
I intend to revisit this series several times and am currently working on a Black Door Series.
