With this painting I have picked up on the understanding that 'abstraction' is not in fact abstraction at all. This was strongly argued by Rothko and Gottleib but more recently by Howard Hodgkin who classed himself famously as a 'representative painter of emotions'I have here allowed a random beginning to pick up a theme as an event of personal biography whilst also experimenting with the stronger blacks evident in say Mothewell, Kline or an early Pollock. Behind the anger of the blacks one can pick out a nine square 'crab'-the repeating design Klee used for many of his Tunisian Watercolours.
