Dress-up

A group of children engaged in imaginative play, dressed in adult clothing and accessories. The composition centres on figures in yellow and blue garments, their forms rendered with loose, gestural brushwork against a richly layered background of warm and cool tones. The oil paint is applied with visible energy, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. The work captures a fleeting moment of childhood fantasy with directness and empathy. Created in 2012, this oil on board demonstrates the artist’s interest in figurative subjects and domestic scenes.
