Colin Lawson says “I work primarily with oil on canvas. Attention to detail, precision, and accuracy in the application of pigment is my main concern when constructing the surface of my paintings. A small brush is used to apply thick oil paint in tiny, interlocking arrangements. Variations in the placement of these brush strokes allow a sense of changing accent in the constructed surface. The use of colour in these paintings is largely intuitive and has no foundation in colour theory. It is the one element informed, to some degree, by chance.”
