I've been interested in Ian McKeever's work this week, I think it relates to some of the techniques i've been using as his paintings give the effect of illumination, with abstract forms and shapes layered up together. This is a similar effect that I want to achieve with marks and pattern. McKeever's palette is quite subtle, yet effective, the darker and tonal backgrounds really illuminate the white areas. This is something for me to think about, perhaps using a darker palette, with only small flashes of brighter areas.
