Garth Lewis
Before everything else: colours and shapes in a certain order, ideas, materials, information, accidents, tastes, other interests have there part but in relation to the continuous, practical process of reflection and action with coloured paints on surfaces. In recent times I have become inceasingly involved with computers, and their relation to colour. This has influenced my painting, there is a willed empathy between the colours, sense of light and energy of my work and the illuminated computer screen, even when this is expressed in a broad, painterly approach in corporating a mix of practical, hand techniques. I'm interested in the differences between painting, direct and physical with colour which is subtractive and the computer, indirect, virtual, mixing coloured light. Before everything else.
