‘Fig. 121’
Oil on polycotton
46cm × 51cm

Part of the Paradise Collection, ‘Fig. 121’ continues a focus on process-led painting, where gesture, surface, and material behaviour are allowed to lead the composition. Imperfections, fluid marks, and moments of disruption are held rather than resolved, creating a quiet tension within the work.
