Really really taken by these painted works by Kevin Umana. It has a sense of modernism and Matisse to the work but I really like the contemporary and graphic feel to the compositions as well. I think the colour, shape and pattern are the most important elements to the work. It feels very ambiguous but sits well with me as the shapes are so bold and have a nostalgic tone too. This is really great inspiration for making my Secret 12" pieces as I've been a bit stuck. This has given me the confidence to just work with simple shapes and colours through painting as opposed to adding screen print or digital tools in to the production.
