N I C K A N D R E W ~ titles
The
titles of my paintings are deliberately ambiguous; chosen to encourage
curiosity,
to heighten the sense of mystery and to, hopefully, add
something to the enjoyment of
the painting. They are the result of
research into the origins of words which describe
particular features
or events in and around the locality of the painting. Often they are
things which don’t appear in the picture, it’s just that I know
they are or were there!
These
origins might be Old English, Latin or other old languages. Often I
use the
Latin names of plant and animal classification. I also often
combine words or parts of
words until I find a name which I like and
which seems to ‘fit’ the picture.
