Process, method and inspiration:-
"These sumptuous paintings and challenging drawings arise from PD Stevens' deepest
experience and concern. They attempt to reflect, through his inspired use of color and form, the need we all have to take
a more careful look at the world around us..."
Waldemar Januszczak
What's happening in our society is bound up in its wealth: More disposable
income (through credit or true worth ) leads not to a Victorian style philanthropy, but to a retrenchment into a modern form
of 'classdom': People build walls around themselves as their insecurity increases - walls both real and virtual. From
Gated Settlements to the self absorption of someone on their mobile phone, they are distancing themselves from the gritty
reality of 'real existence'.
Guy Debord said in 1968:
'only the individual matters;
there is no societal concern.'
