“Greg
Howden’s large oils present a beautiful lone female form in
an abstract patterned field.
The elegant treatment and composition of the clothed or nude figure
recalls a century old tradition, reminiscent of an age of past enlightenment,
Art Deco, 1920’s pictorialism and sculptural form. However,
the modern abstract backdrops in these fine paintings serve to emphasize
their innocence by current standards. Furthermore the large scale,
and modest poses leave us in no doubt that we are revisiting a sensibility
of refinement, care and consideration lost in most contemporary
art and culture. Though sensuous, there is but only a modest hint
of the risqué which often accompanies figure based art. Yet
these works pose their own challenge to the viewer. By the contrast
of opposites, as we gaze on these exquisite works, we can't help
but feel quite acutely what has been lost and gained in a century
of liberalized mores, and romantic realignment.”.........Dr.
