Foyer 1 - 1981

The architecture of the South Bank Complex in London (incorporating The National Theatre and Hayward Gallery) inspired many photographs and subsequently several paintings. See the digital painting ‘South Bank, London’.

Corner of Room - 1982
35mm print
From the same series as the acrylic painting ‘Corner of Bedroom’. Several sketches exist from this period showing a move towards interior settings.

Steps - 1981
35mm print
This photograph was used to make the very first acrylic painting on canvas: ‘South Bank Steps’.

Lyttleton Theatre Flytower - 1981

Foyer 2 - 1981

Blanket - 1982

This photograph was taken during the time that interior views were being considered for paintings. See ‘Blanket on Armchair’.

Foyer 3 - 1981
35mm print
A close-up showing the different textures of the concrete forms that make up the National Theatre.

Seafront - 1980
35mm print
This view of Marine Parade in Brighton was used in an earlier acrylic painting which is no longer in existence. The painting that followed marks a significant change of direction: ‘South Bank Steps’.

Foyer Window - 1981
35mm print
An example of a photograph taken purely as a ‘sketch’ for use later in a painting. See ‘National Theatre’.

Hayward Gallery 1 - 1981
35mm print
A view from a slightly different angle than this was used in the acrylic painting ‘Hayward Gallery’.

MOST of these photographs were taken for the purpose of preliminary ‘sketches' to be used later as the basis for paintings.

However, as seen here, some of them turned out to be interesting as photographs in their own right.
