Angus Watson New
Zealand Using his preferred medium-watercolour-and concentrating on the figure, Watson explores the joy of playing with colours, of putting one colour beside another and allowing them to bounce off and bleed into each other. The effects are instant. There are effects that are unexpected , that haven't been thought of. Although he focuses on figure painting, for Watson the subject is not important-it is something on which to hang the colours.

painter Angus Watson is
passionate about colour. His ways of seeing changed utterly when he went
to Fiji in the early 1990's. Surrounded by bright, extraordinary colours
and works by the Australian artist Ken Done, who is renowned as a
colourist, it was a turning point in his art. It changed the way Watson
worked. He began painting people with eyes the colours of pumpkins,
aubergines or poppies with hair of greens or vermilions, with limbs of
lime. He began to break all the rules.
