Andrew Radcliffe, October, watercolor on arches paper, 2016.

Andrew Radcliffe's work comprises oil paintings, watercolors, and ink drawings.

This piece, titled October 21, 2016, is set in a custom walnut frame and was composed on arches paper. 

His most recent paintings result from several processes in which the essential virtues of figuration and abstraction intertwine. In these watercolors, human vulnerability is expressed through the body's carefully rendered floating and falling poses, of which the artist used himself as the source model. Radcliffe even evokes the supernatural with angel motifs incorporated into his abstract compositions of transcendent colorways.
