#253 Narrative: 24 hours | Rob Allen

Oil on board

Height: 23.3cm. Width: 154.7cm.

Narrative: 24 hours 24 hours as witness: initially, a towering cloud, enveloping; a late lull, almost benign; on into a restless night ... it erupted all over again. Broken rhythms; swinging moods, skittering focus. Magnetic, subtle. 24 hours of dark, incomprehensible loss ... but, also, survival.

I’m genetically predisposed: my creativity essentially defines me. Influences have been diverse, dramatic and subtle. I continue to absorb them; I attempt to integrate. The process is slow; some of it sticks.
