About this artwork
An original watercolour picture on Bockingford artpaper 200lbs. Completed on 22.07.2016.
A tribute to the Russian abstract artist, Wassily Kandinsky, who lived from 1866 - 1944. He was one of the few artists at the turn of the 20th century, to turn exclusively to producing genuine abstract images.
I had found out that he often included geometric designs within a circle. This appealed to me, so I decided to have a try.
The two globes dominate the… picture, set against a van dyke brown background. The full moon represents the moon, so it could not be classed as true abstract.
It has remained forgotten until I discovered it again early this week. The main design circle has various forms of shading to give it both depth and a 3 dimensional appearance.

I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
