These new gouache paintings are partly inspired by early water colors of Georges Rouault. His "Party at the Waterside" 1906, invokes a feeling of an event with something particular happening, without referring to anything too literal.
I aim for these paintings to be more of a drama which takes place in this setting than to be thought of as a landscape. It doesn't necessarily have to be outdoors, it just seems to end up that way.
