Stripes

I first saw the work of Jeremy Carlisle at the annual exhibition at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin. The piece I saw was a beautiful collage, a mesh of stripes on stripes, stripes interrupted by circles with stripes, stripes in opposing directions, coloured stripes on black and white stripes . I'm starting to notice stripes absolutely everywhere!


Triptyque

Triptyque is one of Carlisle's studies of stripes, I love the dark tones of navy, brown and purple with the contrasting splashes of colour in the stripes. A building I saw in Temple Bar, Dublin reminded me of this painting.
