About The Artwork
The beginning of a series of sketches of impressions at a fairground, I thought I would allow myself the same amount of time to paint each image that a child would find itself to be taken away by a thought, an image, a dream at a fairground. Or in other words - my painting time should be equal to the waiting time at a ride. We both are excited. A fine and a hard challenge. Here is number one. An imaginary portrait of myself done in four minutes. 1975. And in equal measure, my thoughts about the work are as far reaching and lasting as the memory of the child's experience. Or so I hope.

Switzerland
I have been working as a painter for the past twenty years, both in Australia, and Switzerland. Throughout my career I have been working with five colours almost exclusively, mixed or layered. I hardly ever use white, instead working with the canvas' brightness. The stripes in my META and Kingfisher works develop over time, many layers leading up to the final composition. I do not use masking tape or rulers, only allowing for two or three measured vertical lines on a canvas as guides at the very beginning of each painting.
