James Myers

Oil on canvas

This painting comes from the unconscious. Using metallic paint, I painted without any conscious direction, simply applying the paint to create an artwork, but without any particular aim. The title was given to the painting after it was finished. Like all my paintings at that time, it stems from the profound emotional impact of my move from London to Edmonton, which unleashed my creative talents as a painter. I was unable to settle in Edmonton and returned to the United Kingdom.
