GEORGE DEVLIN
2011
Like many artists I work in a range of media as the concept seems to dictate.At one point this triggered a series of etchings since I sensed a poetic connection between the bite of acid on metal and the sea eroded foreshore Iwas working on. Another such occasion gave rise to a series of ceramicsculptures, as seemed appropriate.
Equally, I believe that if oils are the full symphony then watercolour is thestring quartet and is therefore charged up with that delightful frisson of having to work expressively and precisely with the bare bones; a high wireact with no safety net which is simultaneously a challenge and a refiningprocess. I hope you will enjoy these fruits of the fluctuating intercourse ofsubject, matiere and me; sometimes luscious, sometimes unexpected, butalways bearing the seeds of the next piece of surprising continuum.
