Quadrumvirate

I used to paint, with oils. These are a group of four that I completed a few years ago, tied together in perhaps too many ways: colour palate, canvas size, and theme.

Of course this digital photo representation doesn't do them justice, really. The colour range is actually stronger, the darkest bits are blues and maroons.

I am most interested in art that straddles the border between abstract and representational - shapes are suggested, as well as shadow. Though I'm not saying I've accomplished that here.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who does, knows about, or has an interest in: any art that straddles the border between abstract and representational, especially the notion of abstract photography.
