Artistic Interpretation of Haiku (Picture 2)

This is the second of three samples pictures from a multimedia collaboration between myself and artist, Julian Sutherland-Beatson.

With the painting’s size reduced, some people might need a magnifying glass to read the words etched upon its chilly, windswept landscape.

We would value some constructive feedback at this stage, to help us gauge the best direction for our project.

In 2011, Julian exhibited his art in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition,  at Glyndebourne Opera House (http://glyndebourne.com/discover/artist-residence-2011), in the Eastbourne Festival (http://eastbournefestival.co.uk), and at Gallery North, Hailsham.

  1. I have no idea where you project should go. I very much like the work. I much prefer this one with the text on the painting rather than in a frame to the side.
    Maybe you could follow your collected haiku themes that I have seen you do. What about three paintings in similar colours and with three closely related haiku?
    I am very much enjoying them. I hope to see more.

  2. I like how the ‘shifting’ becomes an ‘ascent,’ mirrored by the text placed near the top of the painting…

  3. Julian is a great artist to work with. I hand him my words without explanation, and he always totally gets what I’m saying, including all those unsaid words in between. Whenever he unveils his latest visual interpretation, it is of great excitement and satisfaction to me.
