Green Square Door

2011 Jan - Acrylic Painting

Part of a series of paintings which depicts different doors and different openings. Inspired by my walking journeys between home and the unemployment office in May/June of 2009.

They are done on canvases which originally were meant to be other images and have now received at least 5 layers of acrylic.

Personally, I find doors fascinating, as the face of a home or a place. They appear to say one thing about the place, but can present another upon entry.


This door is the first in a series of square themed doors. One of the more intriguing ones, the idea behind it was the door itself is actually made out of many other, smaller doors - each opening in their own direction while still interlocking with other doors. Basically, the frame behind the doors is an irregular lattice which holds each door in place

Wouldn't it be fascinating if each door opened to something different?.
