Maurice Cockrill's semi-abstract piece is
vibrant and optimistic.
Clare's Inspiration is named after the CCA Galleries
worker who liaised with the artists for the project.
The composition is created entirely by colour rather than form,
a shift in these abstract colour fields creates the outline of a
heart. The cacophony of colour that Cockrill creates suggests all
the emotion, power and glory of
the human heart.
The gentle tones of light blue that seem to have been poured
over the right side of the heart indicate healing
and mending; a soothing balm. Cockrill's interest
in Oriental art and caligraphy is
reflected in the abstract shapes his colours take; the interior of
the heart-shape are reminscent of Japanese characters perhaps
revealing a story.
