David Morrall - Kawaii Women

About

My chief subject matter is figurative, mainly the female nude. I enjoy the paintings of Modigliani, Egon Schiele and Davis; I hope that my work in some ways reflects this interest. Poster design is also relative to me, meaning my paintings tend to be quite graphic, largely flat colour with all extraneous detail been kept to a minimum, this also alludes to my interest in Zen Buddhism and Japanese art in general, where the ideas of Minimalism are paramount, what you leave out of a picture (or idea) can be more important than what you put in. I also enjoy the ‘ Japanese idea of Kawaii or “cuteness” in art and design, so I like my images to seen sweet and approachable.
