Caps on Back

‘Caps on Black’ is a painting I created for my own home which is designed to fit over the TV recessed within a shallow nook in my thermal mass chimney. Black can be a bold choice for a room. Upon initial consideration, it is even a bit scary; will a black painting rob the room of its brightness? I find the opposite to be true. Sometimes black is just the thing to draw in light and interest. With the pop of 35 plastic bottle caps recovered from Hull beaches, ‘Caps on Black’ is bright, soothing, and harmonious in my living room.
