“Reacting to Affect”, mixed media on 300gsm. paper 50cm. x 70cm. Like a lot of my paintings, this is another unplanned work. Using line, form and colour to realise ‘something‘ that comes before thought or emotion.

Author: David Carroll - Visual Artist
David is a contemporary artist using many types of media to create abstract artwork. Born in 1947 in North Wales, he migrated to Australia in 1970 with his wife and children.
After many years working in the electrical trades, David went on to further his education, graduating from Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW. with a Bachelors Degree of Visual Art (Honours).
David and his wife, now great-grandparents, live in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. where David works in his studio most days. His abstract artwork is inspired by memory; not so much to depict specific events but rather, to reflect emotional situations that are infused by present moments of recollection.
In recent times, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, his work has taken a new and positive direction. His 'Elemental Representions" use colour, form and symbolic motifs, to create a personal visual story line.

I like the painting a lot and the idea behind it is intriguing.

Thank you for your comment Claudia, I guess that in my abstract works I am striving to uncover what lies within my subconscious mind. Is it akin to memory?

Memories you did not know you had? Sometimes I also think it’s ideas passing by me that decided to settle ?
