Tokelau - 84 x 95cm - Sold

This is the first of a series of pieces inspired by the South Sea islands of Tokelau.   I wanted to create a piece that immediately brought to mind that part of the world - whilst avoiding clichéd images of palm trees and tropical fish - the amazingly vivid, luminous colours and the intense quality of the light.   My work is normally semi-abstract, but I had always loved the aerial views I'd seen of coral reef atolls - the intensity of the blue sea contrasting with the white surf round the atolls.   So I decided to produce this first piece as a stylised map of Tokelau.

Inspired by the story of Tokelau, I have produced a series of work to capture the romance and beauty of these coral atolls.   Click here to look at the special website which I have set up about the Tokelau Internet Project and the work which I have produced inspired by the islands.
