DRUMMOND MONEY-COUTTS - The Magician<br />
The painting can be considered as a site-specific piece.<br />
After several years of submitting work to the BP Portrait Award<br />
at the National Portrait Gallery, in 2013 I decided to send in a<br />
very specific painting.<br />
The idea was to assemble a very clear and direct portrait, and<br />
after meeting Drummond, I decided to triple the figure.<br />
The composition became crisp, and sharp. After several months<br />
of really intesive work, with a tight deadline I sent in my piece to<br />
the competition and was selected amongst the exhibitors.<br />
The painting encapsulated everything that needed to be there at<br />
Trafalgar Square, it was classical and modern at the same time,<br />
and it was exactly the way I wanted it to be.<br />
It was amazing to see how one can achieve something, just by<br />
really setting a clear focus.<br />
