Local working artist Debbie Ayles currently working on contrasting the structural similarities and differences between East Anglian barns and familiar modern buildings. I love the balance achieved in these paintings between abstraction and identifiable features.
I particularly like this painting, 'Essex Support Structure'. The background combination of colours becomes very difficult to notice due to the intensity of lines in the image. The painting has a definite constructivist quality as the title reiterates. I love how the ladder almost becames the focus point of the image, taking the viewer on a journey up and through the structure.
I feel I can really link my current work interests to Debbie Ayles due to the structural elements to some of her paintings of various areas. I find the deconstruction and reassembling that has taken place in the process of creating these images very interesting. The distinctive thick black outlines reminds me of Michael Craig Martin's work as it has a strong graphical element to it. I can see the potential of creating prints to produce a similar outcome to these paintings, but based upon my own structure I have created.
