Clive Head: Modern Perspectives


I was thrown into confusion because the paintings were exactly look like pictures. He's paintings are about space. Along with large scale cityscapes including depictions of london landmarks Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. He uses the camera as a tool when devising his compositions so he displayed his picutres as well. A painting such as "Haymarket" presents a pan of nearly 300 degrees and encompasses views are impossibleto see from one single spot. He rejects its static single point perspective and creates an open and dynamic sense of space.
