Le Tissage du Ballet
Acrylic/Collages
|
|
"Le Tissage du Ballet reflects my
ongoing love for the ballet as subject and acrylic/collage as medium. In
this exhibition, I am more concerned with the story/history of the
ballet than with the actual dancers on stage, using romantic and
emotional small canvasses, laced with strong compositional designs to
tell my stories. The use of exotic scraps of fabric from my wife’s
dressmaking studio give texture and colour to the works in much the way
stage sets and designs support the stage performance. Primarily I am a
painter of figures – dancers, acrobats and such, wrapped in this case in
the mythology accompanying the ballets.
The Tissage in the title of the collection, suggested by a friend in
Paris, literally means the weft, when referring to material, and also
means the framework of a novel play etc., and using the French
acknowledges the original French titles of many of the classical
ballets."
