Artist’s Statement
"Three studies of old men’s heads by Rembrandt. Pen & ink on paper, directly copied from an original editioned etching, lent to me by a patron. The cartridge has patinated evenly over time, with slight foxing." Peter Clossick
"The former London Group president is a man seemingly in love with paint as both a substance and a subject. So oils are generously applied in a series of confident, purposeful strokes. Similarly, the colours are drawn from all corners of his palette, yet appear to sing in harmony and discord with one another across the course of the canvas."
