2r – Fury from the Deep
Fury from the Deep
Fury is a story where the setting is used to perfect effect. The sense of something under the surface, a largely unseen force, makes for emotive drama. Its a story of sea-changes. I wanted to reflect this in my sketch, to bring out the sense of loss, or change of direction, felt by characters in the story. The melancholy image of Victoria on the beach, the pipe drawing who-knows-what up from the sea-bed, the refinery as a hub of human activity. I was really influenced while painting this by my own reflections on the time I lived on the coast, and the sea-changes in my own life at that time. Somehow, I really feel that living by the sea gives you a perspective on where you are in life, and the powerful presence of the tide makes you feel the constant changes around you.
