The
works in this suite of small panels
are
executed in thick oil paint straight out of the tube, applied
with
a painting knife. The use of direct mark making and the building
up
of succesive layers recalls the work of the Parisian tachist
painters in the 1950's.
There is often a
landscape reference in these works and a
tendency
towards blurring the borders of realism and abstraction, also found in
the
work of Nicholas de Stael, whose retrospective Simpson saw in Paris in
1994.
