Paintings, Prints & Drawings — 1992
Sierra
Cars and a bus move slowly through congested traffic. Abstract shapes in the background give an impression of a mass of further vehicles while the foreground is dominated by a Ford Sierra and its driver.
One of a series of images focusing on traffic in Hammersmith, this picture conveys the frustration of being trapped in a confined space indefinitely. According to the artist, as a series 'the pictures have a certain coolness, a balance between the expressiveness of paint and the remoteness of figures half-hidden behind glass'.
