Contrast and Contradiction

Can you really appreciate a warm fire unless you've known the cold?  A luxurious hotel unless you've listened to the wind from a small tent?  Release unless you've felt tension?

 

Some while ago I realised that contrast and contradiction are key themes in life - and particularly in mine.  I'm a conventional-seeming person with an unconventional soul - a successful entrepreneur with several degrees and a large business under my belt, but also someone with an eye for the unusual.  An opera lover who loves dancing to house music at 5am in fetish clubs...

 

Not surprisingly, then, the best art for me includes contradiction, and you'll find a good measure of it within the Gallery.  If you enjoy what you see, perhaps you'd like to contribute too - whether by leaving a comment, or by joining with me to create new work.
