Kelly put great emphasis on the tensions between the 'figure' and the 'ground' in his paintings, aiming to establish dynamism within otherwise flat surfaces. 'The space I was interested in was not the surface of the painting, but the space between you and the painting,' Kelly said. And that's basically what I painted by adding the viewer.

All the best, Gerard

Noland was part of a group of painters that described their paintings as Color Field work, huge paintings of large fields of color. Noland's interest in pure color led him to create controlled, geometric abstract paintings, using stripes, chevrons, and target shapes of colors.

If you stand close to Noland's work like my figure does, the colors seem to extend beyond your peripheral vision, like a lake or an ocean. These mega-size rectangles require letting your mind and eye leap right into the expanse of red, blue or green. Then you can almost feel the sensation of the colors themselves.

Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980) was nicknamed ‘the baroness with a paintbrush’. She is renowned for an Art Deco style which oozed cool chic and elegant sensuality. Portraiture was her genre, featuring stylised subjects bedecked in seductive textures and bathed in flattering light.

On my painting you see a man hitting the slot machines in Las Vegas. As a painter I'm interested in these small moments we usually don't think much about. To me they say a whole lot about todays society and the way we interact.

Taking Of Christ- Painting Of Man Enjoying Two Paintings By Caravaggio

Caravaggio's dramatic painting The Taking of Christ depicts the events of the night of Holy Thursday. Judas has identified Christ with a kiss, and the temple guards move to make their arrest as another disciple flees the scene.

The image would have encouraged viewers to follow Christ's example, to place forgiveness before revenge, and to engage in spiritual rather than physical combat. Caravaggio presents the scene as if it were a frozen moment, to which the over-crowded composition and violent gestures contribute dramatic impact.

On Boy Bitten by a Lizard we see Caravaggio himself dressed as an effeminate Bacchus who has reached down to pluck a cherry only to have his middle finger bitten by a lizard. It is a sarky Italian lament on the brevity of sensual pleasures. The lizard, representing old age also symbolizes the fact that one doesn't stay young forever and that their will be an end eventually.

All the best, Gerard
