Whilst on a recent visit to Cuba, Gerry became interested in drawing groups of people and their relationship within spaces. He was hugely impressed by the Art Gallery in Havana, a wonderfully spacious building, and became fascinated by the grouping and movement of figures within that space. He sat and drew as ideas presented themselves. Neither the figure nor the place, as individually recognisable elements,was important but the way in which the figures were either partly absorbed in the shadows or thrown into relief in the strongly lit areas became the intent of the drawings.The balance of shapes within an ambiguous space provided him with the material for the resultant paintings, completed on his return to the studio, and which form the basis of his continuing exploration of this theme.His travels always offer new perspectives to his thinking as a painter and even the early morning return to Gatwick airport with its moving shimmers of illumination, sparked off another avenue of discovery.And what about the girls he met!
