Charles T K MacQueen RSW RGI
Colour and surface texture are very important elements in my paintings
Stark visual contrasts of moving between strong blinding sunlight and black dark interiors full of rich reds , gold and turquoise inhabit my paintings
The forms I use are forms remembered , experienced or dreamt Usually it takes six months to a year to digest my travel experiences in Morocco , France ,Spain and Italy
One of my earliest memories is being put down to sleep in a darkened room with sunlight streaming through the shutters
My paintings are not representations but evocations
